All Kneeling

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.

In a custom maroon quarter-leather clamshell box.

The Dark Page II: 1959-1965, p. 158.
