HOPE OF HEAVEN.
New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company, (1938). First edition. Story of a screen-writer in his mid-30s in love with a woman in her 20s only passingly interested in him. 8vo glossy black cloth boards lettered in gilt on spine. Slight darkening of endpapers and small bookseller's ticket on rear pastedown; boards are crisp and bright but show evidence of old damp staining along front edges, therefore very good only. In very good or better dust jacket with flattenend creasing and 2 fairly long tears (internally repaired with archival tape)--still, bright and clean. From the collection of sports writer Paul "Dr. Z" Zimmerman with his penciled notations about the text on rear endpaper and corresponding passages marked in pencil in margins.
