[Signed by Conrad Hilton] Bolton, Whitney. The Silver Spade, The Conrad Hilton Story. First Edition. 1954. Book and dust jacket are both in good plus condition—endpapers are discolored and jacket shows light soiling/fraying. Book is warmly inscribed, “To Charles, who handled his job as head butler at Casa Encantada in a fine manner, wishing him happiness and success, Conrad Hilton, Los Angeles, Aug. 31, 1955.”
Even ordinary hardcover-with-dust jacket copies of this book are uncommon, so this presentation copy is very unique. Part of the appeal is the inscription’s reference to Casa Encantada, one of the legendary estates of Bel Air, with its built-in Robsjohn-Gibbings furniture and free-flowing Hollywood drama (Conrad and Zsa Zsa Gabor; Nicky and Elizabeth Taylor; etc.).
