The Magnificent Ambersons Booth Tarkington 1st Printing 1918 w/RARE dust jacket

Description: Very scarce. The 2nd Pulitzer prize winner in very, very rare dust jacket. Desired by collectors of Pulitzer Prize winners. Also sought after by collectors of books into film. Orson Welles famously filmed Magnificent Ambersons right after Citizen Kane and what remains of it makes many think it might have been an even better film, before the studio took it from him and butchered it. There are 2 other versions of this dust jacket with prices of $1.40 and $1.50. The lower priced jacket is often considered the first state of the jacket, but it is uncertain. And it is reasonable to presume the unpriced jacket preceded the others. As covered in the December 2010 edition of Firsts magazine. The dust jacket is spine darkened and chipped with all text legible and in protective, removeable plastic protector now. Text has owner name in pencil and light bump to back cover top edge and light moisture waving of back pages with no mold or mildew - see pictures. Shipped FREE with insurance and of course carefully packaged.
