At the time of this publication, John served as District Attorney in El Dorado County, his salary of $2,000 being noted in the almanac.

Mounted on the front wrapper is a charcoal print, hand signed and titled "Great Kigndom," by New Mexico artist, Fanita Lanier, and dated in 1940.

New York: E. P. Dutton & Co., Inc, 1929. First edition in English. 8vo, 337pp. MGM vault copy with stamps and labels to front endpaper and spine of jacket. Publisher's purple cloth lettered in orange in illustrated jacket. Pushing at spine ends else nicely preserved in original jacket, heavily chipped and partially split along folds, and lacking the front inner flap which is provided in facsimile under the Mylar protector. Wonderful association copy of this horror/mystery novel originally published in French, Les mains d'Orlac, in 1920, and here translated into English by Florence Crewe-Jones. In 1935, MGM released the film Mad Love, based on the Crewe-Jones translation, the original drafts of the screenplay written by director Karl Freund and Guy Endore, author of The Werewolf of Paris. Though not a box office hit, the film is considered today by critics to be one of the more influential horror movies of the 1930's. The book itself is scarce in jacket and this copy is quite interesting…
