About This Item
New York: Random House, 1948. Second printing. Hardcover. Very Good +/very good. Book is a fictional "study of murder and the mass mind, of an accused Negro whose guilt or innocence becomes secondary to the larger moral problems of justice itself, of a boy just old enough to find his way into manhood under the stress of conflicting values, of a community suspended momentarily between instinctive decency and bestial, irrevocable action." Tight binding. No chips, tears or creases on pages. Previous owner's name on front free endpaper. Black coverboards with gilt lettering. Top right front corner is bumped. Dust jacket is price-clipped and has small chips/tears around edges, a smudge on rear panel, and some paper loss at head/tail of spine. Size: 8vo (8" to 9"). 247 pp.

About Bibliodditiques
Thank you for visiting the home page of BIBLIODDITIQUES - specializing in children's literature, non-fiction, and rare and antiquarian books. This year marks my 12th anniversary in the book trade. I am a graduate of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (2009) and a member of the IOBA (International Online Booksellers Association). I take pride in offering books that are of the same quality that I like to see in my own private collection. Books I sell must meet my own high standards of condition, which generally requires that the binding be tight, dust jackets be intact, and that there be no major defects. I do not offer books that are ex-library copies, unless they are hard to find in any condition. Customer satisfaction is very important to me. I am happy to answer any questions you may have and to send you photos of my listings upon request. Your patronage is greatly appreciated.
