Search Results: war letters by crosby harry

Paris: The Black Sun Press,, 1932. First edition, one of 125 copies only, of this posthumously printed collection of Harry Crosby's letters written home to his family during his traumatic, formative war experiences serving as a volunteer in the American ambulance corps. Crosby had ended his own life in a dramatic suicide pact the year before this book's publication. The calf binding is particularly susceptible to wear and this is an unusually handsome example. Octavo. Original calf-backed marbled boards, titles gilt to spines with raised bands and olive morocco title labels, marbled endpapers. Photographic portrait frontispiece showing Crosby in his military uniform. Very light wear to extremities, but a sound and attractive copy, fresh within, generally excellent condition.
