Gates (1914-93, noted Lincoln/Civil War scholar). Near fine. Two original folds.

I appreciate this and consider it an excellent method of tieing up the literary and cinema angles." Boldly signed in full in black ink. 1939 was the year in which the film "Good-Bye, Mr. Chips" was released, so whatever the bookmark that Gates sent Hilton, he likely suggested a bookmark that linked Hilton's 1934 novel with the just-released film version of it.

A fine copy, slipcase with some light soiling to rear panel, otherwise very well preserved. A Celebratory Edition of a Modern Classic Issued in 1935 to mark the extraordinary success of Good-bye Mr. Chips, this "Birthday Edition" represents the first illustrated and most desirable limited issue of James Hilton's most beloved work. Signed by both Hilton and Brock, it brings together text and image in a form intended for collectors at a moment when the story's popularity was rapidly expanding on both sides of the Atlantic. The illustrations by Henry Matthew Brock - one of the most accomplished British illustrators of the late Victorian and Edwardian periods - lend a gentle visual counterpart to Hilton's nostalgic narrative. Brock's style, rooted in the tradition of classic English book illustration, perfectly complements the tone of the work, capturing the quiet dignity and emotional warmth of Mr. Chips' life. First published in 1934, Good-bye Mr. Chips achieved immediate acclaim for its poignant depiction of an English schoolmaster's life and legacy. Its enduring appeal lies in its simplicity and emotional truth, qualities that would soon bring it even wider recognition through stage and screen adaptations, most notably the celebrated 1939 film. One of only 600 copies, this signed limited edition is increasingly scarce in such well-preserved condition, particularly with the original slipcase intact and numbered to match the book. A finely produced and highly desirable edition - uniting Hilton's most famous work with the distinguished illustrations of Brock, issued in strictly limited form at the height of the book's early success. Signed.
