Beschreibung

This is neither of the 1931 true first editions (Cassell or Doubleday Doran -- of which a jacketed Doran can now fetch $400 to $1,000; the Cassell several times that.) But this early 1930s A.L. Burt reprint is "near fine" in a "very good" original jacket (modest chipping to head & heel of jacket spine), which retains the original blue-and-orange George Annand cover art. Previous Owner's Name to Free Front Endpaper C(layton) F. Morgareidge (died 2020), the Marxist Philosophy Professor Emeritus at Lewis & Clark College, Portland, Oregon, author of the book "Demystifying Demons: Rethinking Who & What We Are" (2017) and regular host on KBOO FM of the Old Mole Variety Hour, featuring communist-feminist political advocacy; from the Morgareidge collection. Filmed by Paramount in 1931 as "Daughter of the Dragon" -- third of their Fu Manchu trilogy, after "The Mysterious," 1929, and "Return of,'" 1930 -- this one starred Anna Mae Wong, Sessue Hayakawa, and of course as Fu Manchu that towering Scandinavian Warner Oland, who hailed, you understand, from the EASTERN part of Sweden. 316 pp., ads for other Burt titles in black to jacket verso.
