Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Fair. 1st Edition. Book will close its own text block: "very good." Jacket is "fair" -- some sun-browning to jacket spine and rear panel, as usual, though the big problem is that about 3/4 of the jacket rear flap has been torn away and is missing. Jacket not price clipped; original $2.50 price showing. 1942 to copyright page, no other dates found. Rear panel advertises "Mud On the Stars," beneath which is a smaller promotion for U.S. War Bonds and Stamps. The subsequent 1947 Jean Negulesco film starred Ida Lupino and Dane Clark. 312 pp. Reduced from $350.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good+. First Edition. (lacking the original dust jacket, but encased in a nice-looking facsimile reproduction of same; see 2nd image posted with this listing) [nice clean copy, minor wear to lower extremities, tiny dent in top edge of front cover]. Uncommon novel by a California author better known as a playwright and occasional screenwriter. Set along the California coast in the Big Sur region, the story revolves around a rural girl who becomes pregnant by a convict working on a road gang; he subsequently kills a foreman, and the two flee into the wilderness. Filmed quite effectively by director Jean Negulesco for Warner Bros. in 1947, with Ida Lupino and Dane Clark as the doomed lovers. (Baird & Greenwood 2428) 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.

Hardcover. Etat : Good+. Etat de la jaquette : Fair dj. Illustrated by (dj) George Salter (illustrateur). First Edition. [a well-used copy, with both the jacket and (to a lesser degree) the book showing the after-effects from a previous owner's (or owners') well-intentioned but misguided attempts to "preserve" it; the book itself is shelfworn and bumped at the lower extremities, with a slightly turned spine, and a bit of staining along the top and bottom edges of both endpapers; the jacket, however, is a bit of a mess, having been backed with brown paper, variously reinforced with tape (some still there, some gone but with evidentiary stains), and worst of all, encased in one of those awful old-time jacket "protectors" which inevitably leave behind pieces of itself, notably strips of its edge-binding affixed to the top and bottom edges of the jacket; I've done my best to remove or at least ameliorate the worst of these depredations, but there's only so much that can reasonably be done; in the end, the best that can be said is that it's a reasonably intact example of a fairly rare jacket].
