by WALTERS, WILLIAM J
New York: Dodd, Mead, 1938. First Edition. Very good plus copy in a very good but bright dust jacket with some small tears, tiny chips, and light creasing. The front panel of the jacket has a striking pictorial cover. An early novel about alcoholism and its treatment in a hospital specializing in care for alcoholics. “Bill Wheeler wished he could just accept the serenity offered him at hand. Then he remembered that Dr. Kahler had promised to move him to Hall C tomorrow, and he felt better. He has been there only a month, but they always moved the alcoholics sooner than the mental cases.” (Inventory #: 10331E)
