1931 · Chicago
by Toomer, Jean
Chicago: Private Edition,, 1931. Cloth, paper labels. Very fine in dust jacket, as usual. First edition of the second book by the enigmatic author of one of the great American fictional works of the 20th century, CANE. Copies distributed on the occasion of publication were numbered and signed by the author. After Toomer's death, remainders of this title, and THE FLAVOR OF MAN, turned up, and unnumbered, unsigned copies, such as that in hand, virtually as new in dust jacket, have become the norm.
