First Edition, First American Edition (we have seen two dustjacket variants on first edition books, this is the one with 'Opinions of Good-Bye, Mr. Chips at top rear panel). First true hardcover edition, previously published by the Atlantic Magazine and as a supplement for an English newspaper. This copy signed by Hilton at front endpaper (along with other previous owner). Basis for two films in 1939 and 1969, a 1984 TV mini series, and a TV show in 2002. The most popular of these productions was the 1969 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film directed by Herbert Ross and starring Peter O Toole, Petula Clarke, and Michael Redgrave. Would be Near Fine but newspaper reviews have been glued to verso of half-title (which has also darkened the verso of the front endpaper), in attractive Very Good plus dustjacket.
