signed first edition Hardcover
1969 · New York
by BATES, Arthenia J.
New York: Greenwich Book Publishers, 1969. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. First edition. Fine in a lightly rubbed and slightly chipped, very good dustwrapper. Signed by the author. A self-published book, and as court cases have shown, "vanity" publishers often pulped the entire stock of many of the books they were supposed to be distributing, with the exception of whatever copies the author might have distributed by him or herself. Interesting vignettes of black Southern life by this South Carolina native. (Inventory #: 75191)
