Quo Vadis : A Narrative of the Time of Nero [double dust jacket and belly band]

New York: Grosset & Dunlap c1951. Later printing. [8], 422 pages. 8vo. Paper boards. Illustrated dj. Minor wear to the extremities of the dust jackets, and a small chip to the outer belly band lower edge. Near Fine / Very Good. Boards. [25407]


This copy has two dust jackets, and more importantly two "belly bands" which are advertisements for the MGM film production, starting Robert Taylor and Deborah Kerr.

We love production extras, when they put two dust jackets and two belly bands on the same book! Minor rubbing to the band, mostly to the rear panel. The band has three scenes from the movie on it (one front, one rear, one small it on the spine portion).

On the belly band, it notes that Quo Vadis has already sold 1,500,000 copies, and is now a Six and a half million dollar MGM Motion picture. Originally printed by Little, Brown and Co.
