Ferber, Edna. CIMARRON IN RARE DUST-WRAPPER. Doubleday, Doran, 1930.
Price: US$834.25 + shipping
Description: CIMARRON, Doubleday, Doran, 1930, first edition, vg+ in two different dust-wrappers, neither of which were used with the first edition of the book! One is most definitely an alternate which was apparently rejected. It has no text on the dust-wrapper flaps, printed on a bright yellow background depicting a full color illustration of a finely dressed western man and his bonneted lady on the front panel with a another full color illustration depicting a revolver, holster and gunbelt on the rear panel. There are some editorial markings on the front dust-wrapper flaps and the head of the front panel. The other dust-wrapper has the text of the rear flap of the the dust-wrapper released with the first edition on the front dust-wrapper flap, and totally different designed front dust-wrapper panel, spine and rear dust-wrapper panel. The rear panel gives a synopsis of the 1931 published title AMERICAN BEAUTY while the rear flap lists other novels by Edna Ferber including AMERICAN BEAUTY. As we have not seen a dust-wrapper for a 1931 printing of CIMARRON in a dust-wrapper, we do not know if this is it or another rejected dust-wrapper printed later. Source book for the Academy Award winning film.
