by PATCHEN, Kenneth
Prairie City: Decker Press. (1948). An unrecorded variant of this uncommon title. Gray cloth with the same design as that of the apparently first issue yellow cloth, in a blue dust jacket with gold and black lettering, a price of $1 and the words "THE ARCHIVE of Duke University" in place of "Louis Untermeyer" on the dust jacket copy. According to Morgan, Decker printed about 200 copies of this title, about 20 of which were the first issue, although Morgan doesn't account for all known variants. Fine in a mildly sunned, else fine dust jacket. Unless otherwise noted, our first editions are first printings. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine. (Inventory #: 001805)
