Between the Covers

Hardcover. First edition. Bookplate and owner name on the front pastedown, covered by the jacket flap, one corner a bit bumped, else near fine in an attractive, near fine dustwrapper with a little rubbing and the slightest of fading to the spine. The only one of this prolific author's works to be filmed – by Sam Wood with Ginger Rogers and Dennis Morgan, and with screenplay by Dalton Trumbo and Donald Ogden Stewart. Rogers, in her first starring dramatic role, proved she could carry a film without dancing and won the Academy Award for best actress over Katharine Hepburn in *The Philadelphia Story*, Joan Fontaine in *Rebecca,* and Bette Davis in *The Letter*.
