- 1929
1929. New York: Liveright Inc., [1932].
8vo, 598 pp. Publisher's black cloth stamped with the author's name in gilt to the upper board. A clean, bright copy with front hinge cracked, in unclipped near fine dust-wrapper with some toning to spine, no chips or tears.
ß First edition, inscribed presentation copy of Atherton's autobiography: "Gertrude Atherton 1939 / for Mr Thomas Mann" (potentially the novelist? 1939 was the year the Manns emigrated to the United States). "If some of Gertrude Atherton's reminiscences are indiscreet, it is because she remains an uncompromising woman who will never fear to tell what she believes to be true" (blurb).
