The flapper era comes alive in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" by Anita Loos, published in 1925 by Boni & Liveright. This original edition captures the charm and wit of its era. Its cloth binding reflects the quality of its time, and while it may not be signed, its historical value is undeniable. This book is a genuine piece of Americana, manufactured in the United States and bound to enhance any collection. It’s a unique treasure that has withstood the test of time, making it a must-have for enthusiasts of classic literature and collectors alike.
Inside the book cover, I found a newspaper clipping from Sept. 1974 about Anita Loos "latest" book "Kiss Hollywood Goodbye" (see last image above). As you can see, at age 81 she still spoke with wit and candor. While the article is obviously not about "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", you might find it of interest if you are an admirer of her work.
