Hilton, James (1900-1954) — Lost Horizon

New York City Grosset & Dunlap Madison Square Series pp. 277. Octavo. Bound in decorated blue cloth & in original dust jacket. Hilton was also the author of 'Goodbye, Mr. Chips'. 'Lost Horizon' was made into a very popular movie, starring Ronald Coleman and Sam Jaffe. The boards are a trifle bumped at the crown and foot of the spine. Grosset & Dunlap was notorious for using cheap paper on their reprints, and this title, in their 'Madison Square Series', was no exception. Hence, there is some age-toning throughout. Otherwise, the text-block remains clean and tight and in near fine condition, and housed in its original, unclipped, lightly rubbed dustjacket showing some light wear along the edges of the panels. Overall, very good+. ¶ First published by William Morrow in 1933, and winner of the Hawthornden Prize, this is the first Grosset & Dunlap reprint.
