first edition Hardcover
1929 · Boston
by COLEMAN, Albert Evander
Boston: Meador Publishing Company, 1929. Hardcover. Near Fine. First edition. Octavo. 121pp. Green cloth lettered in gilt (with author's first name incorrectly rendered as "Charles"). Slight paper remnant on the front board where someone apparently tried to correct the first name, bookplate removed from front pastedown, gift inscription from "Harold" to noted gay black book collector E. Glenn Carrington, very good. Novel based on the experience of a freed black woman in Reconstruction. Little is known about the author, but we presume he was white. Scarce.
