New York: The Viking Press, 1935.. viii,103pp. Original blue cloth, printed paper labels. Spine sunned, endpapers tanned. Very clean internally. Near fine.

This second edition was published in February 1935, four months after the first. Johnson was a leading African-American writer, civil rights activist, and executive secretary of the NAACP; in 1934, he also became the first African-American professor at New York University.

Description:
New York: The Viking Press, 1934. Hardcover. Good. First edition in an apparently unrecorded variant binding of dark blue cloth. All othercopies we have seen are in red cloth. Small octavo. Dark blue cloth with publisher's printed label on front cover, and contemporary (publisher's?) polished black leather spine overlay titled in gilt. African-American scholar Laurence G. W. Hayes' copy, with annotations by him throughout the text and with his early ink signature on front pastedown. Newspaper review of this title on front pastedown. "James W. Johnson/ 7/9/34" in ink, but does not appear to be in the hand of Johnson, presumably it is in the hand of Hayes. Wear and small nicks at tips of spine and corners, polished leather spine overlay is nicked along edges; a good copy. An interesting association copy in an unrecorded variant binding.
