Important Added Info: Note that for this book publication, the novel was re-titled to "Don Q's Love Story". Also note that this is the first Grosset & Dunlap photoplay edition from 1925 in its original dust jacket. In our 26 years of auctioning, we have previously auctioned around a dozen hardcover movie edition books (most from Grosset & Dunlap). Now, we have been consigned an amazing collection of 37 hardcover movie edition books, and we are auctioning all of them in this set of auctions! All of them have the original dust jackets, and since we know that the condition of the dust jackets are very important on the value of these, we have photographed the entire dust jacket opened up (both sides), which will surely let you accurately gauge the condition of each book! Here are some more details about these books: Grosset & Dunlap was a publisher that made a deal with all the studios in the 1910s to publish "movie edition" hardcovers of novels that were currently adapted into movies (there were also some by other publishers, but Grosset & Dunlap printed the lion's share of these). They would re-publish 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, and they are quite collectible, especially if they still have the original dust jacket! 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. As noted above, we have also pictured the dust jacket entirely opened and we have pictured the inside of the entire dust jacket, since we know collectors value that jacket and want to see its exact condition. Condition: good to very good. We have pictured the dust jacket entirely opened and we have pictured the inside of the entire dust jacket. We have also pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads, all of which should greatly help you judge the exact condition of this book!
