first edition Hardcover
1931 · New York
by DREISER, Theodore
New York: Horace Liveright, 1931. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. First edition, mixed state with "filched" in the first state, but others in later states. A few light penciled notes on the front fly from a critic (and easily erasable), else fine in a slightly spine-fading, near fine dustwrapper with a small chip at the crown, and along the rear flap fold. A nicer than usual copy. For those desperate for a new film source, this was the basis for a 1976 Czechoslovakian television series, "Americká tragédia" - don't even ask why we know this. A nicer than usual copy in an earlier state - reportedly only a half-dozen copies of the first state were bound. (Inventory #: 98438)
