About This Item
PLEASE SEE PHOTOS. 1940 special edition with the pre-printed signatures of the Cast of the movie. It has a few dates like the floating 8 in 1938, light R denotes special run(1st) and the illustrations copyright 1939, but there are none. This might have been the last of the red cloth covers because 1940 was the year the green BCE came out and the other Re-Print Publishers had a release also. And I believe Doran got bought out(or died) that was why Garden City got used to sseparate the monies. WOW a lot this issue had going on.
And it is in such great conition too.
Synopsis
An orphaned young woman working as a maid is swept off her feet by a wealthy widowed Englishman, and quickly married him. But when she arrives at his estate she learns she pales in comparison with his seemingly perfect deceased first wife Rebecca, especially in the eyes of the sinister housekeeper Mrs. Danvers. When Rebecca’s body is found on her shipwrecked boat the dark secrets held by the husband are discovered as well. Rebecca has had many adaptations in film, radio, and television, the most famous being the Academy-Award Winning Hitchcock adaptation released in 1940. Du Maurier wrote the novel in a reported 4 months. Her publisher, Gollancz, expected the book to be successful and ordered 20,000 copies for the first print run. Within a month the novel had sold twice that.
