Hardcover. Etat : Very Good-. Illustrated by R.L. Lambdin (illustrateur). Unstated edition. (turquoise cloth; no dust jacket) [moderate wear to the extremities, and an unfortunate 1/2" rip in the middle of the spine]. (color and B&W plates, small pen & ink drawings) INSCRIBED and SIGNED on the front endpaper: "For / Dear Jane Novak / 'The Nuisance' / From / Bill Hart." Three short western-themed pieces, two by Hart and one by his sister Mary: "Pinto Ben -- A Story in Verse" is about his beloved pony; "The Savage" is a short tale about an Indian maiden who meets a tragic end; and Mary's story, "The Last of His Blood," is about a bulldog (who dies halfway through the story but then posthumously narrates the rest of it). The most interesting part of the book, honestly, is Hart's Foreword, in which he writes about his early life in the Dakota Territories, and how he got into showbiz and ultimately the movies, where his gritty Western pictures made him a huge star. (He also notes that his two stories were published in the New York Morning Telegraph "long before I ever dreamed of motion pictures." Mary's story, too, had been previously published.) This copy's inscribee, Jane Novak, was a frequent Hart co-star, appearing with him in five pictures between 1918 and 1921, and was at one time engaged to be married to him; and now we know that his nickname or pet name for her was "The Nuisance." (Note re the binding: every other copy of this book I've ever seen has been quarter-bound, beige cloth spine over paper-covered boards, so I don't know what to make of this one; unfortunately the book bears only the copyright date, and the inscription is undated Signed by One Author.

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good+ dj. Illustrated by James Montgomery Flagg (illustrateur). First Edition. [minor shelfwear only to book; the jacket is lightly edgeworn, with a couple of small ragged chips at the top and bottom edges of the rear panel, and two short diagonal creases at the upper corner of the front flap]. (B&W illustrated plates) INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the first-billed author on the front endpaper: "To / Dear dear Jane / In remembrance / From / Bill Hart / 1943." Seven "stories of the East and West -- a sort of fanciful history painted on a truthful backdrop," with the jacket blurb making much of Hart's authenticity as a Westerner, acquainted as a boy with the likes of Bat Masterson and Wyatt Earp. The inscribee was actress Jane Novak, who appeared as Hart's co-star in five of his films between 1918 and 1921, and at one time was engaged to him. The co-author was Hart's much younger sister, who he referred to as "my constant advisor"; she had also collaborated with him on an earlier book, "Pinto Ben and Other Stories." Signed by One Author.
