About This Item
New York: Albert and Charles Boni, 1926. First American Edition. Octavo. 19.5cm. Publisher's black cloth spine over green cloth boards, titled and decorated in gilt to spine and front board. Dustjacket. 265pp. Light bumping to spine ends, some minor scuffing to the cloth to extremities and a little insignificant soiling, in a bright and clean decorated dustjacket with a closed tear to the head of the front spine hinge and an unfortunate 2 inch section of loss to the base of the spine panel, essentially a good copy of a book seldom seen in jacket. Internally clean and most handsome. Billed as "the first honestly written novel about Hollywood", "jarnegan" is Tully's attempt to cut through the perceived glamor and complexity of Hollywood and reveal what lies beneath, in his typical pull no punches style. Tully's third book, described by Prouty as a "Hollywood novel about a hard-living ex-con/drifter who becomes a big-shot film director...the character was substantially based on Tully's pal James Cruze, director of The Covered Wagon " (Prouty, The Dozen and One, p. [3]).
