About This Item

New York: The Overlook Press, 1977. Very Good+ condition in a Very Good+ dust jacket. NOT price clipped ($12.95). A bright, shiny, clean, square, tight copy. NO owner's name or bookplate. Pages are creamy white and crisp -- probably never read. NO underlining. NO highlighting. NO margin notes. Translated from the Swedish by George Bisset. Bound in the original black cloth, stamped in shiny gold on the spine. From the Dust Jacket: "Mr. Gedin describes the progress of the book trade in modern times, relating it to the prosperity and decline of bourgeois society and culture. He connects the trade's boom periods and also its crises to the forces of social change. The result is an entirely new look… particularly on the field of fiction, and much light is shed on the fortunes and misfortunes of some very famous publishing names.". First U. S. Edition. Hardcover. Very Good+ condition/Very Good+ dust jacket. 8vo. 211pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
