A Devil with Women. Photoplay title of Dust and Sun.
New York: Grosset and Dunlap, [1929]. Hardcover. 410p., illustrated with b&w production stills (Fox Movietone) on glazed inserted stock, the Grosset edition of the original Payson & Clarke publication neglected to change copyright information (therefore G&D may be advertised as the "first", which it is not). Hardbound in textured red cloth lettered black, cloth is smudged with a partial light cup-ring, top edge dust-soiled, a sound copy clean and unmarked within.
FYI, the selling point of Mr Ripley's novel is hardly the storyline (hangovers, racism) but the four plates. One is simulated shot of horseback revolutionaries, and the other three of Victor McLaglen being a towering ladies' man (whatta grin!) and a singleton of a young Humphrey Bogart being obsequious.
