first edition Hardcover
1943 · New York
by WELTY, Eudora
New York: Harcourt Brace and Company, 1943. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. First edition. Fine in a very near fine dustwrapper with the pink portion of the spine, which is usually faded out to near invisibility, only slightly faded and very easily readable. The only flaw is a vertical pink stain on the spine, possibly the result of a printer's error. Only the third copy we have seen that retains a substantial portion of the pink spine lettering, and rare thus. Author's elusive third book, cheaply manufactured during wartime and virtually never found in this condition. (Inventory #: 86563)
