Thunder On The Left (Signed 1st Printing)

U.S.A.: Doubleday Page & Co. , 1925. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. From the collection of Caroline Riesor Rau & John Wallerstein--a very good copy in blue cloth with light blue decoration to the front cover title panel--A very good copy lacking the dustjacket. This copy is signed by Morley in pencil--along with a notation from Caroline Riesor in red pencil that the signature took place at the Frances Parker School on November 5, 1934. The personal bookplate of Caroline Riesor Rau is attached to the front free endpaper. Caroline Riesor was from Chicago and was married to John Wallerstein, also a Chicago native who ran the Balaban & Katz Movie theatre chain--and later moved to Hollywood to study and work under George Zukor at MGM. He later became friends with Walt Disney and his wife Caroline--a voracious reader--who is given credit for giving Disney a copy of Mary Poppins to read and consider for a movie. Wallerstein went on to become a Board Member of not only the Disney Company--but also of ABC, and McDonalds--where he is given credit for coming up with the term "Supersize It!". A tight and clean copy with edgewear to the upper spine and age toning to the paper title. Otherwise a nice collectible copy.
