New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons. Good. (c.1942). First Edition. Hardcover. (no dust jacket) [solid copy, but with much external soiling to yellow cloth-covered boards; "Property of Vanguard Films, Inc." stamped on both endpapers and several other pages, ffep bears a label from the Myron Selznick & Company Agency]. Novel of a young misfit in a small Mississippi town, where the racial injustice he despises eventually breaks his spirit. His best friend is a mixed-race man who marries a white woman. For some reason the American edition of this book is a good deal less common than the British edition, published two years later. . (Inventory #: 22468)
