First Edition. Hersholt's own copies of the first two printings, both fine in dust jackets, and with long inscriptions by the author on their history, bibliography (the actor-author was a noted book collector) and success. Laid in are three typed letters from publisher Bennett Cerf to Hersholt about the novel, with a page of typescript. Hersholt's bookplate is in each book; contained in a quarter-morocco slipcase. There were six films that starred Hersholt as the kindly Dr. Christian, one of some 140 films in which he appeared in, the best-known of which is probably von Stroheim's Greed.
