[Rarebooks] FS: Charlie Chaplin's My Trip Abroad, INSCRIBED

[Charles Agvent]

To be included among our Winter Miscellany of New Arrivals which will be 
posted on our website next week

CHAPLIN, Charlie. MY TRIP ABROAD. New York & London: Harper & Brothers, 
(1922). First Edition. A very early, if not first, printing with no date 
on the title page and the code "B-W" on the copyright page indicating 
publication in February 1922. Chaplin's account of what Europe did to 
the world's most popular movie actor, illustrated with photographs. This 
copy bears a scarce SIGNED INSCRIPTION by the author on the recto of the 
frontispiece photograph: "To my dear old pal/Billy. Hoping you will/have 
a little fun/browsing through this/Charlie Chaplin/Feb. 24th 1922." 
Books signed by Chaplin, especially of such an early date when he was at 
the height of his popularity, are quite scarce. We have handled only one 
other signed copy of this book in over twenty years and it was inscribed 
in June, 1922. The pictorial boards for this book are almost always 
quite worn and the dust jacket hardly ever present. This copy is quite 
decent with minor rubbing to the front cover with old staining to the 
rear cover. The spine and the front free endpaper have been expertly 
replaced and look exactly like the original. Very Good, lacking the 
uncommon dustwrapper.         $5,000.00
