Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First edition. Illustrated by John Wentworth. A little foxing, still fine in a very good plus dustwrapper with a little age-toning, and a tiny tear. Nicely Inscribed by Simon to author James Jones: "Sat. May, 12, 1951. To Jimmy Jones, A hard-headed writer, with a conscience, composed of integrity, self-consciousness and respect. Best regards, S. Sylvan Simon." Simon began as a theatre and radio instructor, then became a Warner Brother talent scout and director of screen tests, and finally a feature film director. From 1937 onwards he directed and produced numerous thrillers and light romances, including *The Road to Reno*, *The Fuller Brush Man*, and *Lust for Gold*. He died very unexpectedly of a heart attack at the age of 41 just a few days after this copy was inscribed. The archive at the Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin contains correspondence between Jones and Simon. Seller Inventory # 92265
