    • From PBA Galleries: "The original novelization for the 1933 King Kong movie classic, as part of the film's advance marketing. Co-creator Merian Cooper was the key creative influence, saying that he got the initial idea after he had a dream that a giant gorilla was terrorizing New York City. Edgar Wallace, a famous writer of the time, died very early in the process and it is generally believed that little if anything of his ever appeared in the final story, but his name was retained for its saleability." Delos Lovelace wrote this novelization.
    • Shown here is the more common second state dust jacket. The first state dust jacket reads: "conceived by // by Edgar Wallace and //Merian C. Cooper", i.e. containing "by by". The second state corrects this error.
