First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. First Edition. (no dust jacket) [minor wear to extremities, a touch of fraying to upper front hinge, but generally a solid clean book]. Scarce boxing novel by the brother-authors of the notorious Hollywood (or, perhaps, anti-Hollywood) novel "Queer People," and its two follow-ups, "Whitey" and "Kings Back to Back." (Collectively the three books can be called the Whitey Trilogy, although I don't think anybody actually ever has.).

Tenth Printing - October 1930. Used and read copy with a little fraying at extremities else very good example of the novelÕs original book design in yellow cloth with blue stamping. Queer People is considered one of the true landmarks in the continuous evolution of the Hollywood novel. The novelÕs take of the bizarre and seamy side of the life of Hollywood during its golden age is like no other work of fiction. In the 1976 reprint edition, Budd Schulberg wrote Ò.in Queer People we have if not THE Hollywood novel - at least a truly seminal work on Hollywood in which may be found the seeds of at least three of the longer-lived Hollywood novels, The Day of the Locust, What Makes Sammy Run? and The Last Tycoon.Ó The book was a scandalous sensation when published and went through numerous printings very quickly. At publication, multimillionaire film producer Howard Hughes bought the film rights to the novel. He hired Leo McCarey to direct and Ben Hecht to write the screenplay. Hughes biggest problem turned out to be that stars were extremely reluctant to appear in a film that attacked the Hollywood studio system. Hughes initially wanted to cast Jack Oakie and William Haines, but Paramount and MGM refused to loan them out. Unable to secure a significant cast, Hughes ended the production after spending over $100,000 of 1930s dollars in its preparation.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good+ dj. Illustrated by (dj) Vincentini (illustrator). Reprint "Second Printing" (stated). [moderate shelfwear and light soiling to bottom edge, slight fraying to cloth at top of spine; jacket shows wear at extremities, 2-inch split at bottom front hinge, short closed tear and associated creasing at bottom of front panel, short L-shaped tear at top front hinge]. The middle book in the "Whitey Trilogy" (which nobody actually calls it) -- following the notorious "Queer People" (1930) and preceding "Kings Back to Back" (1932) -- in which the amoral (sorry, irrepressible) ex-newspaperman and booze-hound hits the Big Apple, where "his boudoir and other exploits -- including the management of a speakeasy in Harlem -- bring him into conflict with the participants in half a dozen underworld rackets." "Queer People," which went through multiple printings (including a "rediscovery" in the 1970s) and has earned a permanent spot on the list of most outré Hollywood novels of the day, is an easy enough book to find; not so the other two "Whitey" adventures, which as far as I know were never even issued in paperback.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First edition. Slight sliver from front fly, else near fine in good dustwrapper with rubbing and substantially rebacked with brown paper. A fantastic dust jacket by Vincentini, one of our favorites. The publisher liked the jacket enough to reproduce it on glossy paper for use as the front fly, something we've only seen on books by this publisher and by this author. Lovable, irrepressible, but dissolute American wreaks havoc in Europe in the company of a slightly pregnant film star, a gangster, a bartender, a dictator, and a fat lady. By the author of *Queer People,* which itself is one of the quintessential Hollywood novels. Exceptionally uncommon in jacket.
