A Vintage Hardcover Book (measures 5 1/4" x 7 1/2" [13 x 19 cm]; 328 pages) (Learn More) Desert Gold, the 1919 T. Hayes Hunter silent cowboy western ("Zane Grey's most powerful picture"; "With an all star cast"; based on the novel by Zane Grey) starring E.K. Lincoln, W.H. Bainbridge, Frank Brownlee, Lawson Butt, and Jeanna Carpenter. Note that Zane Grey was such a dominant writer of the 1910s (and 1920s) that the producers of this movie chose to put his image on the one-sheet over that of any of the stars or any scene from the movie! Hundreds of movies were made from Zane Grey's books. He is almost certainly the most adapted writer in cinema history! Also, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is the Grosset & Dunlap photoplay edition of this novel in its original dust jacket. This book has the original dust jacket. Here are 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 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 usually 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. 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. Note that this is one of a collection of 100 "movie edition" hardcover books we were consigned, including many great rarities! Each has its dust jacket is in a protective sleeve. We do not describe the condition of the book in words, but our many photos surely let you get an excellent sense of the exact condition of each book. Learn More about condition grades
