About This Item
New York: Boni & Liveright, 1928. O'Neill's experimental play won the Pulitzer in 1928. One of the many critical assessments on the dustjacket notes "Not only a great play, but the great American novel as well." At over five hours production time, many have never seen this work; but O'Neill remains the dark genius of American literature. This is a Very Good copy of the Fifth Printing, from June of 1928 (the first issue was in February. Green cloth binding, ruled in a lighter green and with a reproduced signature in gilt on the front cover; gilt titling on the spine. Clean text; 352 pages. Decorative endpapers; green topstain (faded). A sound copy, but the spine lettering seems a bit darkened and it is slightly cocked. The evocative dustjacket is unclipped, but darkened at the margins and with chipping along its edges. In an archival plastic protector. . Later Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
