First edition

New York: Harper and Brothers, 1928. First Edition. Basis for Nicholas Ray's seminal 1950 film noir Born to Be Bad, in which Joan Fontaine plays decidedly against type to lustrous effect. A sharp, Near Fine copy in a Near Fine dust jacket. Jacket has a crease at the center of the spine, with a tiny closed tear on the top of the front panel and mild toning, otherwise quite striking. An exceptional copy.
