About This Item
New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1969. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine/near fine. Octavo, 372pp., illustrated. A crisp, clean copy, near fine, in the publisher's cream cloth, with fading to the spine lettering and a tiny ding to the bottom of the rear board, else very nice. In a near fine dust jacket with only very mild edgewear. This copy SIGNED and warmly INSCRIBED by Coretta Scott King on the front free endpaper: "To Emma Bell, With warmest appreciation for your support and efforts to make the dream real. Coretta Scott King. Oct. 12, 1980." A notable photograph taken at the funeral for the four girls murdered in the Birmingham church bombing depicts some SNCC workers, one of whom is identified as Emma Bell, but we are unsure if this is the same person. In any event, a rather sharp copy with a warm inscription.

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
