Important Added Info: Note that this book is just like the U.S. Grosset & Dunlap "photoplay editions" of great movies that were published in the 1920s and 1930s. You get the original story, but interspersed throughout are wonderful black & white full-page images from the movie! This is from the series of books in England called "Readers Library" editions. It is undated, but it was surely published soon after this movie came out (we know it is not a later edition, because the back cover of the dust jacket references 13 earlier books from the series, and those were all published prior to 1931. Note that we have pictured the front cover of the dust jacket, the front cover of the book itself, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads. Condition: good to very good. The book has slight darkening around the edges of the pages and some minor wear on the spine. The dust jacket has paper loss in the top left corner of the front cover, and water staining at the bottom of the spine, and slightly at the bottom left of the front cover, and a large amount at the bottom right of the front cover of the dust jacket, with some tiny tears and tiny paper loss in the bottom of the front cover, and some wear around the edges of the jacket. Someone once put two small pieces of tape on the bottom of the inside of the spine where the water staining was (see our images). Learn More about condition grades
