About This Item
Near Fine book with bumping bottom of spine, very slight bumps to top corners of boards, touch of rubbing at bottom corners, slight age toning of edges of page block; in a similar dust jacket with bumping and slight color loss bottom of spine, touch of age toning along top edge of white portions. A very nice, first state review copy of Welty s seventh book. A Harcourt Brace review slip is tipped in at the front end page noting the review date as APR 7 1955 and that price will be $3.50 (which is the price on the flap). The first state has only a single date on the copyright page, 1955, and is fairly rare. The first state copies apparently went only to reviewers and the copyright page was then corrected by adding the copyright dates for all the stories in the trade printing. A slip from a previous book seller notes that this was once the copy of John Martin, founder of Black Sparrow Press.
Synopsis
Welty tells a tale of a young woman leaving her husband and journeying across the Atlantic Ocean to England, and beyond to Cork.
