About this Item
Carbon typescript, on flimsy. 495 leaves, plus a lettered insert or two. 1 vols. 4to. The setting typescript for James Hilton's penultimate novel, published in the US and UK in 1951, and partaking somewhat, in terms of theme and setting, of Hilton's own years in Hollywood. Though the authorial tinkerings with this draft are not large, being limited to some deletions and an occasional original typed insertion or revision, it bears editorial markings and directions to typesetters throughout. The nature of several of the editorial queries suggests this typescript was utilized for the U.S. edition Accompanied by the original folded long galleys, and by a set of the page proofs, the former very lightly corrected in his hand, and bearing editor's queries, the latter clean. Hilton's corrections in the long galleys are largely confined to typographical errors, but as well include some deletions, some rectifications of Anglo/American spelling issues, and responses to editorial queries. [Boston: Little, Brown, 1951]. Light use at edges, old mend to longish tear into largely blank area of first long galley slip, but very good. In slipcase and chemise. Some modest creasing and marginal fraying, but very good. In grey cloth slipcase, black leather label Carbon typescript, on flimsy. 495 leaves, plus a lettered insert or two. 1 vols. 4to.
