About This Item
New York: Harper Brothers, 1923. Good to Very Good,Stated First Edition,bumped spine bottom,light shelfwear,only mark I see is a check mark on the copyright page.Very tight and square and clean,one of the better ones I've seen in 15 years.
The signtaure is a cut signature in black fountain ink.(laid in). I have tried to have the signature veriflied, but this is one of the rarest signature, I have not found another in the world, except someone claiming one from her personal library in NY, well she never lived in NY. I know I cut it out of one of her books, but 15 years ago which book, I can not remember. So it is either a super valuable, or worthless signature. No Warranty. I have reduced the price to cover only"The Able McLaughlins" being real.
Bonus: is a Grossett & Dunlap 1st issue of The Able Mclaughlins with Dustjacket which has minor chipping and stains,the book is VG or better. Signature Included. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good-NF/No Jacket.

I am a private collector, mainly Pulitzer Prize winners, but I inherited 1000's of hardcovers and looking to sell them off. I will be relocating in the near future, and need to lighten the load.
