About This Item
New York: A.L. Burt Company. Fair in Poor dj. (c.1930). Reprint. Hardcover. NOISBN . [well-worn ex-rental library book with associated elements: a big stamp on the front pastedown ("American Lending Library Inc. -- Never Sold / Only Loaned"), a typewritten blurb (cribbed from the jacket text) pasted to the ffep; the jacket is backed with brown paper and thoroughly glued down at the flaps, with a large chip at the top of the front panel (taking about half the title with it), about half the spine missing, heavy edge- and surface-wear]. Contemporary reprint of Powell's fourth novel, generally considered one of her best early works; apparently printed from the Farrar & Rinehart plates (including the F&R colophon on the copyright page). Alas, this particular copy (both book and jacket) has been mistreated almost from the get-go; however, the jacket is quite rare in any incarnation, and to given it the best spin possible, at least the charming front panel illustration is largely intact. .
Synopsis
Dawn Powell lived from 1897 to 1965 and was the author of fifteen novels, numerous short stories, and half-a-dozen plays.
