The Able McLaughlins (STATED FIRST w/DJ) 4 more Margaret Wilson Titles by Margaret Wilson - 1923

The Able McLaughlins: stated FIRST EDITION with its original DJ. DJ: it has minor wear to the corners that match the book, there is detachment of the back cover with its flap, there is no book sellers reorder printed(of course I have only seen one), but the people I bought it from had no clue of its value, so I have to say this DJ and its wear MATCHES pattern on the book. It is a poor rated DJ but there is one. The Book: There is only minor shelf wear- the spine ends, no markings inside- no names etc. Very tight-clean-square. But it still has the cheap bindings of the stated first editions and that linen covering, nothing like the trade editions, of course these were Advanced Reading Copies(critics or authors) or Pre-orders of this Harper Prize Novel Contest winner, then won the Pulitzer Prize 1924(7th awarded)for a Novel. When the book is standing opened up, there seems to be a semi crease on the spine(see Photos) and the mark on the bottom(another top) minor bumping to both.

BONUS BOOK #1: The Law And The McLaughlins: Book:VG-NF Green cloth covers with gold titles on the spine(beautiful) light bruising to the very ends of the spine, no wear that I can see, no markings inside, clean-square, tight book, 1936 stated FIRST EDITION. DJ: Poor,price clipped, with small tears, chipping, wear, but more than 96% complete. This was Margaret Wilson's last adult Novel (and she released a children's novel in 1939) finally a follow up book to her 1923 award winning Novel the Able Mclaughlins(better late than never). Making Jean McLaughlin a strong, intelligent and strong willed like Margaret Wilson herself was.

BONUS BOOK #2: It's a throw away to me but it has significance in the authors real life. This is one of 2(the 1st one is very very hard to find anywhere in the world-The Dark Duty) novels about the prison system in Britain, and also a non-fiction book about reform, etc. The Valiant Wife: DJ: has small tears,shelf wear and wear to the spine area, I don't see a price but it has no indentation for a book club and the Main Title page has the Roman Numerals for 1935, but no printing info. has some staining on the covers which could have been mold(I will seal this in plastic just in case). Book: has minor tear spine area, but nice gold lettering on the spine, still a handsome copy.

Bonus book #3: The Kenworthys,3rd Printing with a decent Dustjacket, authors 2nd novel, Good to VG both the book and DJ.

Bonus book #4: The Painted Room, sequel to The Kenworthys book is Good, DJ is fair, stated first edition.
