1ST EDITION, 1ST STATE(John Day Publishing Company) and all 1st issue points. Top stain, flees, John Day last page, if there are any others I bet it is in here. The glassine Dustjacket came with it(Wraps as stated by Ahearn & Blanck). Unmarked, unread, clean, square. Check the photos. The rear spine cloth may seem slightly loose(appearance), that is it that I can see but listed as Near Fine?ADDED to this collection is the remaining books of the Trilogy(the Sons and A House Divided both are Great Copies themselves-search my books for the photos of them also) and the 4th book of the Saga(The Mother). I have been collecting Mrs Buck's books for over 40 years and they are hard to keep in stock.The TLS came from a 5th grade school teacher back in the 90's just waiting for the right book to come along. I sold off 4 of the cards but I did keep 1 mentioned in the letter.I know there are several listed for big bucks but do they mention what state of First Edition? NO! I show in photos and have a few more if… Leer más

EXACT SAME AS THE 1ST EDITION 1934, brown cloth with labels on the Spine(dirty spine cloth and the label is dirty, too. It might clean up but why de-age it) and Front cover. A paper form clipped to the 1st leaf with form THE NEW YORK TIMES, BOOK REVIEW, When Received..AUG.20, Publisher's Price $2. and then instructions on how to write to the review standards. Their form F 361 5M 10-33 slip is aged with the top edge fading(wonderful) appearance. It has not had a dustcover due to the soiled spine(Maybe able to clean but why it is part of the aging process). I added facsimile dustjacket 2nd state no reviews, wonderful copy for this book. The clip is rusting leaving shadows on the inside cover and the slip(leave it to show age because the damage is done). The spine is soiled and weaken to the point just before fraying(very close or is fraying) another reason to add a dustjacket) The bottom spine end is worst than the top spine end(but it has fuzz). If I wanted to give it strength I would use cloth tape… Leer más

Johnson September 1934" in black ink HER FULL Signature(as full as I've ever seen her signature) just 2 months after the publishing date...And there is a later issue Dustjacket too, with the fold-out flap. BOOK details first: Brown cloth covers with paper labels, the spine label is 95-97% gone but I have an answer for it at the end of the description, one on the front nice, light rubbing, light shelf wear, all corners touch of wear or rounding, the spine ends are worn to the point of fraying(but not bumped) and a very slight lean. But inside is beautiful, no markings other than the Signature, inside the covers are beginning to age tone but that's it, unread tightness...The Dustjacket has a few problems too, there is soiling, rubbing, and chips, the worst chip is the top of the spine taking out the Now and 1/2 of in of the… Leer más

The top is the only milled page ends, other 2 rough cuts.. stated first edition. signed Sidney Howard, April 1926 Main Title Page. Unread tightness, very square, only writing by the author, a nice copy for a collection. Slight lean. This is the only copy I found directly signed Pulitzer Prize Winner. Signature is highly collected anyway/anyhow.

True First Edition with 1934 on Main Title Page and on the copyright page with no other printings listed.

NO WEAR, Sharp Corners, unread tightness and very square, light bruising to spine ends, did I mention No Visible WEAR.

All the markings of the 1st Edition, not sure if the binding is original seems simply made. Boards cut to protect the rough cut pages rectangle, 1 paper label is on the spine with Title and by Author. The corners are protected with metal protectors. The spine ends are weak and starting to fray, shows minor shelf wear. It is nice to see it in such great shape for 92 years old and with only 500 printed.

Cloth like spine and corner protectors, paper boards. This issue is 1928 (code is C-C, March 1928) but the copyright is/was 1922 and is part of her award winning poems. This copy is signed on 1st title page Signature only. One large defect is the large Previous Suite mates gift inscription(not the author) on the 1st leaf. The spine ends are bruised and the label has been roughed up a wee bit but fully there( a touch of glue would fix it). Minor soiling and minor shelf wear to the protectors. See photos. Her most read lines of poetry, just mention "Burning a candle at both ends" just about everybody in the world have heard them. Maybe a few primitives living on a forbidden island with no touch with mankind wanted. I look for a reference for a price and none were found and realizing then I have found a treasure. It is available with a few free books of no real value and a large sum. I will only be able to list it here because it would exceed my limits elsewhere. if not sold soon it will make its way to… Leer más

PLEASE SEE PHOTOS. Publisher's presentation(probably for review first off the line). If I can fine a Signature I will change listing to reflect that price increase.

The UK title is August 1914 is the exact same book, word for word, chapter by chapter. I have had this book in my private collection for over 20 years because it was a signed Pulitzer winner(I was always intending to replace it with the American Signed and sell it). When I bought it I did not know things like tipped in, but I do now and I believe it maybe tipped in because the page color is different. But then again I have seen tip in by printers the same way. It is a beautiful signature. The American (STATED First Printing) copy of The Guns of August is a newly acquired book, bought just a few weeks ago. It is unsigned but while flipping thru it(I do this with every book to look for family treasures like $$$$, which I have found many times), I ran across the Post Card. Oh but not just any Post Card but one made for Barbara Tuchman. It is addressed in her handwriting and has a personal message and signed in her hand. It is canceled so I don't think it came with the book by her as well, which happens… Leer más

The signtaure is a cut signature in black fountain ink.(laid in). I have tried to have the signature veriflied, but this is one of the rarest signature, I have not found another in the world, except someone claiming one from her personal library in NY, well she never lived in NY. I know I cut it out of one of her books, but 15 years ago which book, I can not remember. So it is either a super valuable, or worthless signature. No Warranty. I have reduced the price to cover only"The Able McLaughlins" being real.
Bonus: is a Grossett & Dunlap 1st issue of The Able Mclaughlins with Dustjacket which has minor chipping and stains,the book is VG or better. Signature Included. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good-NF/No Jacket.

with the cardboard covers and spine, it feels hard to me(?). I guess they had to redo the name from the hardback to squeeze a few more pennies out. I know some of you collect these and this just might be one. Bud had already won a Pulitzer before this issue in Oct 1951 and it escaped many collectors of his work. But someone listed one of the hardcopies and paperback for $139 and this title came out of everywhere and every price. This one goes with the big collection I have, the price is to keep it around to see.

THIS IS THE FIRST TRADE EDITION AFTER THE 21 COPIES WITH THE BLACK INK MAIN TITLE PAGE,THIS MAIN TITLE PAGE IS GREEN AND BLACK INK,AND EVEN THESE ARE GETTING VERY EXPENSIVE AND HARDER TO FIND(IF YOU HAD ONE OF THE 21 YOU COULD NAME YOUR PRICE AND 15 PEOPLE WOULD PAY IT). THIS COPY HAS MINOR SHELFWEAR TO THE SPINE AND CORNER EDGES,SPINE ENDS ARE BRUISED BUT NOT BUMPED,THE PAPER USED IS OF HEAVY STOCK AND GROUPED IN SECTIONS,THEY WERE NOT SEWN TOGETHER AS USUAL,CAUSING SEPARATING AT DIFFENT POINTS SHOWING THE WEBBING,BUT STILL MAINTAINING ITS TIGHTNESS.LIGHT SOILING TO THE COVERS,NO MARKINGS.
