A Good firm copy in the primary red cloth binding with spine gilt dulled and a prominent discolored stripe on the back cover which although unfortunate shouldn't be a deal breaker as this copy is INSCRIBED BY THE TWO STARS of the film ROMAN NOVARRO and ALICE TERRY and is likely unique thus. In a Very Good slightly browned dust jacket. WITH: a signed typed letter w/ original mailing envelope from Roman Novarro to Art Ronnie a noted studio publicist who later became a TV critic for the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner.

193226821Boston/New York: Houghton Mifflin Company. Very Good. c.1932. Later Printing. Hardcover. no dust jacket a good solid copy spine very slightly turned lightly shelfworn with a teensy-tiny tear in the cloth at the top of the spine; ex-Twentieth Century-Fox Research Library copy with related rubber-stamps on title page both endpapers and pastedowns. Pirate adventure yarn adapted into a swashbuckling 1942 movie starring Tyrone Power and Maureen O'Hara. Although this copy was once part of the research library at Twentieth Century-Fox the studio that made the film there's no evidence to indicate that this particular book played any active role in its creation it was after all only "copy 3" -- but on the other hand I don't think it's at all unlikely that the book was at one time mere hundreds maybe only dozens of yards away from Tyrone Power and/or Maureen O'Hara. Or both! . Houghton Mifflin Company hardcover books
