A propos de cet article

(lacking the original dust jacket, but encased in a professionally-made facsimile reproduction of same; see 2nd image posted with this listing) [modest shelfwear, age-toning to edges of text block, one-time owner's name printed neatly on front endpaper; contemporary newspaper clipping about the author's death laid in at the rear of the book SIGNED on the tipped-in limitation page by the author, this being copy no. 271 of the limited/numbered edition. The author's first (and only) novel, a tale set in Scotland (Moon's birthplace) about the travails of a girl born under the cloud of uncertain patrimony, was the source for the hit 1930 film MIN AND BILL (although the focus of the movie was shifted to the protagonist's grandmother, played by Marie Dressler). The adaptation was co-written by one of M-G-M's top screenwriters, Frances Marion, who was a close friend of Moon's and to whom the novel is dedicated. (Moon herself did some screenwriting in the 1920s at Famous Players-Lasky and M-G-M, although the description of her on her Wikipedia page as "one of the earliest and most successful female screenwriters" seems a bit of an embellishment.) The book was a critical sucess and a best-seller, but Moon unfortunately didn't live to also experience the success of the movie: she died of tuberculosis in May 1930, about six months before its release. Many years later, it was revealed to Richard de Mille, the son of William C. de Mille (director Cecil's older brother), that Moon was his birth mother, the product of her affair with his father; he subsequently wrote a book about it, entitled "My Secret Mother, Lorna Moon." NOTE again that this book bears a FACSIMILE dust jacket, to serve the dual purpose of protecting the book from further wear and enhancing its appearance on the shelf; its presence has not been factored in to our pricing.

Description de la boutique

Welcome to ReadInk (rhymes with "Dead Ink"), now in our 29th year of putting interesting books into the hands of interested people. **** Although I occasionally lapse into the "royal we" voice, ReadInk is just me, from one end of the pipeline to the other: buying, cataloging, customer service, shipping, you name it. Nothing here is automated, and every order or inquiry gets my prompt, personal attention. **** In describing a book's physical condition, I employ standard book-grading terminology (Good/Very Good/Fine, with various in-between gradations as appropriate) and do my best to avoid both excessive jargon and overly-finicky detail. My goal is always to present a faithful impression of a book's condition and appearance; significant flaws are individually noted, or if too numerous are succinctly summarized. **** Books are more than just physical objects, however: they are also intellectual/information vessels, and in almost every case I also include some information about a book's content in my listing, even if it's only a carefully chosen quotation from the dust jacket copy. (This may sound like a small thing, but take a look sometime and you'll see how amazingly few sellers bother with this, especially in the case of older fiction, which is one of my specialties.) **** I take great care (and pride) in my packaging of books for shipment; I figure it's my responsibility to ensure that each book I send out will withstand the rigors of the U.S. Postal System, and will reach its new owner in the same condition as advertised. (A sturdy box or an unbendable package is always involved.) **** That's all there is to ReadInk: just a guy who has loved books all my life (perhaps to excess) and entered the trade in my "middle years" to see what I could make of it. And I'm still finding out. **** To view my inventory exclusively, head over to my website -- www.readinkbooks.com. ---- Howard Prouty, prop.…
