About This Item
New York: Ray Long & Richard R Smith. Good with no dust jacket. 1932. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Probable rental library with date stamps on rear free endpaper and no other markings, cocked, cloth soiled, toned, dj flap clip glued to front paste-down, owner's signature, otherwise light wear. Still solid hardcover. ; Hard-to-find collaboration by two best-selling pulp romance authors. "You might call this novel sensational. But then it is no more sensational than the life which it describes: a certain modern and typically American phase of life as lived on Park Avenue's New Babylon. You might call this novel prejudiced from a racial and religious point of view. ... The novel is honest and fearless and courageous. It minces neither words nor sentiments. It is polemic. ... And its modern and vital theme is played, dramatically, colorfully, and wittily, in the terms of a story of love and passion and intrigue." ; Ex-Library; 320 pages .
