Strange book questions

This is a strange, one-off question, but here it is. Does anybody own the Boydell Press edition of Michael Arlen's The Green Hat, which is on the list? Somebody here read this book recently, and I picked up a copy at a used bookstore this weekend. Then I discovered a strange thing --
Somebody has crossed out a line of the back jacket copy, and crossed it out so deeply that it is absolutely impossible to read!
So what did this line say, that aroused such ire in a former owner?
I tried to find a picture of the back jacket online, but to no avail. And I am wildly curious. I wonder if it was a spoiler? The blurb in the 1001 Books totally gives away the ending so I already know it. But what was the jacket line?
What I am missing is: 'The character of the heroine, Iris Storm, that wanton of quality, "shameless, shameful lady" .................................................................... .............................................................. "for Purity" -- set a new fashion in fatal charmers.'
Can anybody relieve my curiosity? If it's a spoiler, you can just say that.

I titled this thread "strange book questions" in case anybody else ever has another.

I googled your text above and found this:

If the colours have now faded, and the glitter
seems mostly tarnished tinsel, the book
cast a spell in its day and influenced
many young writers. The character of
the heroine. Iris Storm, that wanton of
quality, 'shameless, shameful lady', gal-
lantly crashing to her death in her great
yellow Hispano-Suiza — 'for Purity' — set
a new fashion in fatal charmers ; and the
pictures of London cafe society were exact
as glossy photographs.

Brilliant! It never occurred to me to search for the actual text. Needless to say, the first line about faded colours and tarnished tinsel is NOT part of Boydell’s jacket copy.

That's definitely a spoiler! I don't condone defacing books, but crossing out a major spoiler could warrant an exception to that rule (although a nicely place sticker could also do the trick).

I read the kindle version earlier this year - I'm glad someone else could help you.

Apparently Stalin blamed his wife's suicide on The Green Hat. He called it "that nasty little book." Very excited to read more of it!
