JMVintage specializes in Books, Magazines and Treasures related to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and other curious subjects. The dust jacket reads: Here is the whole story: how she met the dynamic Mauritz Stiller, the man who gave her the name Garbo and who, out of a classic Svengali-Trilby relationship, gave Garbo to the world. Here are the first agonizing years in Hollywood with Stiller; the bewildered young actress' almost childish eagerness to please; her sudden success and Stiller's tragic failure in the jaws of Hollywood; the coupling of Garbo with John Gilbert in " Flesh and the Devil", the film that established her as "The Star" Stiller had visualized. Here, too, are the other men in Garbo's life-among them, Leopold Stokowski, Gayelord Hauser, Baron Rothschild- and here is the heartbreaking story of her frantic search for privacy. Her life today-her friends, her interests, her haunts-brings this absorbing biography up to the present. An appendix,, "The Films of Greta Garbo," lists all of the star's pictures, both European and American, their casts, production credits and the place and date of premiere of each,
