[pretty beat-up, with heavy external wear (covers edgeworn/creased, small piece missing at bottom front corner, etc.), tears in title page and first page of text, bottom inch or so of spine covering missing, etc.]. (Popular Plays and Screen Library) Series (B&W photographs) A cheaper version of the popular "Photoplay Editions" issued mostly by Grosset & Dunlap and A.L.
