About This Item
New York, NY: Covici-Friede, 1929. Book. Good. Cloth. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. New York, NY, Covici-Fried, 1929. First edition. 8vo. Dark navy-blue cloth with embossed lettering on spine, rough-cut pages, 214 pp. This manuscript was not found in a bottle; it was literally found on the ocean. The discovery of a little packet by a well known American writer looking for stamps amid a mass of old letters; the deciphering of these letters, creased, worn in parts, and hardly legible, brought about the realization that they contained priceless material for the life history of one of the greatest writers of French prose, Maurice de Guerin. An intriguing and revealing look at de Guerin. Spine sunned, rubbed at top and bottom, repaired. Corners rubbed, minor foxing on endpapers. Most of the pages uncut, appears unread. Good..
