LA Bantam - Private Lives of Movie Stars

The 17th book published by Bantam Publications is Private Lives of Movie Stars by Eleanor Packer. This is a paperback original.

In common with all but one of LA Bantam's books Private Lives of Movie Stars is 100 pages long and is 110 mm (4 5/16") wide by 152 mm (6") tall. Cover and pages are made from high acid pulp paper. The page collation is:

[1] title page,
2-100 Private Lives of Movie Stars.

The copyright date of 1940 is on the title page. The back cover is an ad for Bantam books.

In common with most LA Bantams there are likely variant covers but the strong yellowish green/light orange yellow one below is the only one of which I'm aware. This copy has a red "10c" sticker at the top right corner. I know of four other LA Bantam copies with an identical "10c". It clearly was added by the publisher to some of their books.
