Title
La regina Giovanna: emozionante romanzo storico napoletano [Queen Giovanna: stirring Neapolitan historical novel]. New York: Società Libraria Italiana, [1911?]
Description
A good example of an import by the Italian Book Company; the only OCLC copies are in Italian libraries. Book ads appear on the verso of the title page for the U.S.-produced Molinari/Cordiferro Raccolta di discorsi published by the Italian Book Company, and for what appears to be another import by the same New York publisher, Coriolano della Floresta.
The Italian title of the original Galdi publication, by Nerbini of Firenze, on sale in later reprints, is Giovanna II. Regina di Napoli. Whether that reflected that the IBC had not obtained permission to reprint the work is unclear. Business records of that publisher, however, suggest the the IBC often did obtain permission from Italian publishers to be the exclusive distributor - sometimes calling themselves the publisher rather than distributor - in the U.S. of works published in Italy.
