Five Women in Three Novels [Star on Her Shoulder; Detour; Let's Do the Town]

New York: Farrar & Rinehart. Near Fine in Very Good+ dj. (c.1942). First Edition. Hardcover. " Three short romance novels by this popular author of women's fiction, all written between 1936 and 1941, and respectively covering "the period of peace, of approach to the war, and to the threshold of the war itself." The three are: "Star on Her Shoulder"; "Detour"; and "Let's Do the Town." All three had been previously published in magazines, although for some reason the only whose prior appearance is acknowledged on the title page is "Detour" (which was published in McCall's under the title "Husbands Are Perishable"). The rear jacket panel is completely filled by an extensive pitch for buying War Bonds, written (or at least signed) by Baldwin, entitled "We, Who Fight." .
