KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS HENRY SMITH
by Dahlberg, Edward
- Used
- Hardcover
Cleveland: The White Horse Press, 1932. Cloth and boards. 12mo. Tipped in plates by Augustus Peck. Boards faintly dusty, else good, without dust jacket. First edition of the author's second book. One of a total of 95 numbered copies (of which the first ten were issued signed). This is one of the unsigned copies, and bears number "24." Copies turn up often enough with the plates to make it plain that Harold Billings' observation about copies he examined lacking the plates was simply an observation and not a generalization about the major portion of the edition. BILLINGS A2.
