first edition Softcover
1917 · New York
by (DREISER, Theodore)
New York: John Lane Company, 1917. Softcover. Very Good. First edition. String-tied wrappers with applied portrait. Frontispiece photograph of the author by Ira L. Hill's Studio. Light general wear, a very good copy of an uncommon and fragile pamphlet. Includes a list of Dreiser's books, and tributes to him in poetry by Edgar Lee Masters, and Arthur Davison Ficke, in prose by John Cowper Powys, and Harris Merton Lyon, as well as a tipped-in caricature of the author by P.B. McCord. Possibly prepared by John Lane to assuage the unusually prickly author. Very scarce. (Inventory #: 82011)
