New York: George Braziller, 1961. First printing. Hardcover. Very Good +/very good +. George Salter. "This first novel presents a raw, raging picture of French Canadian lumbering life, from the jacks in the camps to the women at home, from the Catholic priesthood to the promoters of brothels. It is spring and the men are due in from the logging camps and the small town of La Buche is ready for them with a whole new settlement of whores, masquerading as workers in a rosary bead factory." (Kirkus Review) Tight binding. No chips, tears, creases or written inscriptions on pages. Beige cloth-covered boards are slightly bumped at bottom corners. Dust jacket is price-clipped, with some small chips, tears around edges and a bit of paper loss at head of spine. Size: 8vo (8" to 9"). 383 pp.

About Bibliodditiques

Thank you for visiting the home page of BIBLIODDITIQUES - specializing in children's literature, non-fiction, and rare and antiquarian books. This year marks my 12th anniversary in the book trade. I am a graduate of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (2009) and a member of the IOBA (International Online Booksellers Association). I take pride in offering books that are of the same quality that I like to see in my own private collection. Books I sell must meet my own high standards of condition, which generally requires that the binding be tight, dust jackets be intact, and that there be no major defects. I do not offer books that are ex-library copies, unless they are hard to find in any condition. Customer satisfaction is very important to me. I am happy to answer any questions you may have and to send you photos of my listings upon request. Your patronage is greatly appreciated.
