Rankin Drew, Leo Delaney, and Naomi Childers NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is the A.L. Burt photoplay edition in its original dust jacket (one of a collection of such books we are auctioning in this set of auctions). Note that the copyright page says this is the sixth edition from March 1910, but obviously, they did not update that page, because they used the same plates as the earlier edition to save on money, and this movie did not come out until 1915, and the book has a cover and title page illustration from the 1915 Vitagraph movie, and it says "Photo Play Edition" on the cover. Here are some more details about these books: A.L. Burt (like Grosset & Dunlap) was a publisher that made a deal with some studios to publish "movie edition" hardcovers of novels that were currently adapted into movies. They would republish the original novel as the movie came out (or soon after), and they would put a dust jacket on the book that showed the stars of the movie, and they would include several pages of images from the movie scattered in the book. These books were incredibly popular in the 1920s and 1930s. Note that we have pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads. Because we know that the dust jacket is an important part of the value of this book, we also pictured the entire dust jacket opened up. Between that image and our other images, you should be able to get a good sense of the overall condition of this book. Condition: good. The dust jacket is in a protective sleeve.
