Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. No additional printings mentioned. Original jacket, priced $2.50, is "very-good-minus" with chips to spine corners and some transfer of orange pigment to the rear panel. The 1937 Frank Capra film, which introduced most of the world to the idyllic pacifist paradise of "Shangri-La" in the high Himalayas, starred Ronald Colman and Jane Wyatt (who Grahame Greene in "The Spectator" called "one of the dumber stars, who has read all the best books (this one included) and has the coy comradely manner of a not too advanced schoolmistress") along with Sam Jaffe as the High Lama. Greene added "Nothing reveals men's characters more than their Utopias. . . . This Utopia closely resembles a film star's luxurious estate on Beverly Hills: flirtatious pursuits through grape arbours, splashings and divings in blossomy pools under improbable waterfalls, and rich and enormous meals. . . ." Filming (in various deserts and walk-in freezers) went over budget, and Capra's first cut ran six hours, though it was eventually released at 132 minutes. Depression-era box office returns were so paltry that Columbia studio chief Harry Cohn then cut another 14 minutes in order to squeeze in more daily screenings. From 1973 to 1986 the American Film Institute worked to restore the film -- now considered a classic -- to its original running time, though seven minutes of soundtrack now play over production stills, as the footage for those segments was never recovered. When reporters asked Franklin Roosevelt where the twin-engine B-25 bombers in which Jimmy Doolittle bombed Tokyo in early 1942 had come from, he replied "from Shangri-La." 277 pp., reduced from $1,295.

hardcover. Condition: Near fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. first. A near fine first edition in a good and very rare example of the second issue dust jacket. Jacket says Hawthornden Prize Edition, which Hilton won for this book in 1934. But the book itself is the true 1933 first edition, not the edition reissued to mention the prize. So it appears the publisher added this new version of the jacket to the remaining unsold copies of the first edition book, possibly replacing the original jackets. Jacket is good only, with original price still present but the bottom three inches section of the spine missing. Housed in a custom-made collector's slipcase.
