Bound in black lettered yellow cloth, backed over red moire silk gently rubbed to spine and slightly sunned to extremities. The novel tells the tale of Lorelei Lee, a blonde flapper golddigger, and was inspired, Loos said, by her jealousy of a follies dancer with whom satirical writer and editor H L Menken was infatuated. The story was first serialised by Harpers Bazzar, causing circulation to skyrocket, then published as a novel, and adapted into a play, comic strip, silent comedy, a Broadway musical, and a second film starring Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell; all had popular and critical success. By 1929, Loos said her bathtub gin book had been adapted for a variety of different mediums designed into dress material and printed into wall paper and even had a song by Irving Berlin. The success of the musical had also prompted a brief revival of 1920s fashions. Among fellow authors, William Faulkner wrote to Loos asking her to accept his envious congratulations; his Great Gatsby was published the same year. Edith Wharton declared it the Great American Novel. Joyce and Huxley were also fans. Truman Capote reportedly was inspired by Lorelei when creating his heroine Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffanys. The volume in hand is a great addition to the library of reader and scholar alike.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine dj. Illustrated by Ralph Barton (illustrator). 2nd printing. [about as nice a copy as you could hope for, the book showing just the teensiest bit of wear at the extremities; the dust jacket equally nice, with just a bit of wear at the upper corners, one tiny tear at the top rear hinge, and some minor scrunching at the top of the spine]. (B&W cartoon illustrations) Loos's sequel to her runaway best-seller of 1925, "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," starts out as a continuation of Lorelei's diary, in which she updates the reader about her adventures making "cinemas," her marriage and new-motherhood, and the commencement of her literary career in New York -- but as of Chapter Three, she switches gears and devotes the remainder of the book to a biography of her good friend and fellow gold-digger Dorothy. This "2nd Large Edition Before Publication" (from the jacket spine) was issued in April 1928, the same month as the first printing. The 1955 film version, GENTLEMEN MARRY BRUNETTES, wasn't terribly faithful to the book: for one thing, they made the two ladies sisters. This copy is in exceptional condition, with barely even a trace of the bottom-edge shelfwear that plagues almost every copy of the "Gentlemen" books.
