First edition. Damage to the boards from dampstaining, else internally fine, in a lovely, fine dustwrapper with a small, light ink mark on the front board. Advance Review Copy with slip laid in. Wonderfully Inscribed by the author: "For Donald A very integral part of this play with my deep thanks and gratitude. Moss Hart. New Hope, 1947." While it seems logical that this jacket was married to the book (as there is no evidence of dampstaining to the jacket), our instinct is otherwise as the book was in a private collection for a considerable period of time, probably before jacket polygamy became common, and it just feels like it belongs. Perhaps the (so far unidentified) Donald removed the jacket at some point, and replaced it after he had inadvertently damaged the book. Basis for the Peter Godfrey film *The Decision of Christopher Blake* featuring Alexis Smith and Robert Douglas as the divorcing parents of the title character.
