She inscribed the book in blue ink on the front free endpaper, "To "Mary Peters"/ A grand lady who likes to read--/Bless you/Hedda Hopper." The book is bound in black paper boards with blue and gold titling on the spine. Overall, the book is in fine condition but for very slight cocking and very minor touches of wear on the page edges. The dustjacket is price-clipped and shows minor rubbing around the spine but overall a very sold nice dustjacket protected by an archival dustjacket.
