First Edition. Inscribed and signed by the author, Sinclair Lewis to the great film director John Ford.

Front hinge skillfully repaired, some rubbing at extremities, and some fading at spine, very good without dust jacket. Along with the film adaptations of Dodsworth and Elmer Gantry, John Ford's 1931 production of Arrowsmith for producer Samuel Goldwyn is considered with one of the truest and finest adaptations of Sinclair Lewis's work. Arrowsmith was a box office and critical success eventually being nominated for four Academy Awards including Best Picture. Sinclair Lewis and John Ford liked each other, and even attempted in the late 1930s to work together again on a film.
