Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Very Good dj. First Edition. (price-clipped) [good sound copy, minor wear to bottom edge, a couple of tiny faint stains on bottom of text block; jacket shows just a bit of wear along top and bottom edges, a tiny bit of what might be insect-nibbling at bottom right corner of front panel, light soiling; includes original wrap-around band from Brentano's, bearing the legend "autographed for you by the author"]. SIGNED by the author on the ffep (signature only, no inscription). A "stunning tale [in which] an irresistible heroine and a multi-billion-dollar business together face a deadly struggle for survival." The heroine of the novel, "the only child of one of the world's richest and most powerful men," is loaded up with "beauty, intelligence, innocence and youth," all of which serve her well when she takes over the family-owned pharmaceutical company after the death of her father. Literary trash which served as the basis for a trashy movie (dubbed "the worst film of 1979" by Roger Ebert), which wasted the talents of a pretty good cast, including Audrey Hepburn, Ben Gazzara and James Mason. Signed by Author. Illustrated by (dj design) Honi Werner (illustrator).…

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Very Good+ dj. First Edition. [good sound copy, a couple of teeny-tiny stains on the edges of the text block but otherwise unblemished; the jacket shows some surface wear, with a couple of tiny nicks and some dog-earing at the top of the spine]. SIGNED by the author (no inscription) on the front endpaper. Sheldon's second novel (following a long and successful career as a screenwriter), and the first full-blown example of what we might now think of as "a Sidney Sheldon novel": a "blockbuster of a novel [with] two beautiful but classically different heroines: Noelle, a daughter of the Marseille slums, grown into a sexually enchanting, international movie star, and Catherine, born in Chicago, adoring men, yet fearful of them, a true American innocent. It is the story too of Larry Douglas, a handsome, vibrant war hero, whom both heroines love, and Constantin Demiris, a magnificently portrayed Greek tycoon" -- OK, that's about enough of that. You know the deal: beautiful, lusty people playing out "a tale of romance, suspense and revenge" against an international backdrop. Made into a ghastly movie in 1977, with Marie-France Pisier (you remember her) and Susan Sarandon as the ladies, and the lifeless John Beck as the dashing fellow who inexplicably excites and enchants them both. (Sorry, even a potboiler novel didn't deserve THAT movie, which gives schlock a bad name.) Signed by Author. Illustrated by (dj design) Bob Nemser (illustrator).…
