Hardcover. solid copy moderately shelfworn one-time owner's name stamped in purple ink on ffep; jacket is worn along top and bottom edges with a few short tears and associated creasing. The original stories all of which had appeared in The New Yorker chronicling the urban misadventures of two sisters from Ohio who share an apartment in Greenwich Village. The book was adapted for a popular Broadway play and went on to spawn two film versions 1942 and as a musical 1955 a short-lived TV sitcom and the 1953 Broadway musical "Wonderful Town" on which the 1955 film was not based. Eileen herself tragically didn't live to witness any of this property's long multi-media life having been killed in a car crash along with husband Nathanael West in December 1940. The original Harcourt Brace edition went through many printings and the 1942 Columbia Pictures film adaptation was complemented by a tie-in edition issued by Grosset & Dunlap; the present volume fairly uncommon represents an in-between state: although undated it was probably issued sometime between March 1941 when Columbia's purchase of the film rights to the play for $225000 referenced on the front of the jacket was revealed and the release of the film version in September 1942.
