Very good / Very good. First edition (of the play). A very good copy in somewhat soiled boards in a very good, probably supplied (though not by me) dust jacket with a one inch triangular chip missing from the back panel. This copy is presented to Joseph Goldin "for helping turn 'Dodsworth' from a manuscript into a play." Below that printed sentiment, both Lewis and Howard have signed in ink. The recipient was an accountant who worked on Broadway productions. The book is a bit musty.
