ESCOTT, Margaret. I Told My Love
ESCOTT, Margaret. I Told My Love. New York: Norton. 1936. 8vo. First US edition. Publisher’s blue cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the striking original Cleo Wilkins dust jacket.
The first US edition of the author’s magnum opus—she only published three novels. This was published as Show Down in the UK (we also have this in stock); presumably, publishers Norton sought to appeal to romance readers as much as anybody else, and the deco jacket certainly builds on this theory. Both editions were published under the name M. Escott with no reference to the author’s true identity.
A near fine book, the cloth clean and just a little sunned to the extremities and corners and tips very lightly bumped, but the binding tight and square, the textblock relatively clean with a handful of tiny spots to the top edge. The contents fine throughout. The dust jacket not price-clipped ($2.50) but with the corners of flaps neatly cut by the publisher. Some edges and spine tips with some shallow nicks, some creasing and a little rubbing along the joints, but a more than respectable copy of this scarce US edition nonetheless.
