About This Item
New York: Random House, 1944. First Edition. Hersholt’s own copies of the first two printings, both fine in dust jackets, and with long inscriptions by the author on their history, bibliography (the actor-author was a noted book collector) and success. Laid in are three typed letters from publisher Bennett Cerf to Hersholt about the novel, with a page of typescript. Hersholt’s bookplate is in each book; contained in a quarter-morocco slipcase. There were six films that starred Hersholt as the kindly Dr. Christian, one of some 140 films in which he appeared in, the best-known of which is probably von Stroheim’s Greed.
