About This Item
Constable and Company Ltd., London, 1939. First Edition. Hardcover. Good/Fair. 396 pages (complete). First British edition of the first novel of what was to become de Passos' "District of Columbia" trilogy. Hailed for its accurate description of life in the depression. The dustjacket has a clear plastic protective cover. This is a little grubby. The dj itself is assured; there is some wear and marking and scuffing from storage. The price (8/6 net) has not been snipped. The dj is comfortable, even snug. The boards are pleasingly bright and healthy. The titling is fresh and youthful. The papertrims are foxed. Within, the frontispapers have a previous owner stamp. The early pages have some mild foxing. Beyond this the pages are satisfying: they are clean, clear, comfortable, thick, sure and firm. fk. Our orders are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
