Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good-. Illustrated by (cover illustration) Baskerville (illustrator). First Edition. (red cloth with pictorial paste-on label on front cover, title/author label on spine; no dust jacket) [good sound copy with just minor bumping and light wear to the extremities, some smudging on the front-cover pictorial label, and with a somewhat unsightly brown stain on the fore-edge affecting the first one-third of the book (page edges only; no staining on the interior) and a couple of diagonally-creased upper page corners; vintage bookseller's label (Hollywood Book Store, "Opposite Hollywood Hotel") on rear pastedown]. Classic comic novel of the 1920s, set in Paris but somewhat unusual in that it focuses not on the au courant world of the Left Bank but rather on the remnants of Edwardian Era society on the Right Bank. The author's only novel, it was a critical and commercial success, but wasn't enough to save him from an early death from alcoholism in 1932. Adapted as a 1928 silent film (apparently no longer extant) by the Fox Film Corporation, starring Mary Astor, Matt Moore and Sally Eilers.
