Sobre este artículo
New York, NY: Harper & Brothers. Very Good in Poor dust jacket. 1923. 1st Edition; 1st Printing. Hardcover. First Edition, Binding State A (BAL- red cloth with gilt lettering) This book is in Very Good condition and has a Poor dust jacket. The book and its contents are in generally clean, bright condition. There is some very beginning bumping to the spine ends of the book covers. The text pages are clean and bright. The spine of the dust jacket has been detached, but is laid-in the book. There are several large chips missing to the dust jacket as well. "Porter's most prolific writing period started in 1902, when he moved to New York City to be near his publishers. While there, he wrote 381 short stories. He wrote a story a week for over a year for the New York World Sunday Magazine. His wit, characterization, and plot twists were adored by his readers but often panned by critics. Porter married again in 1907 to childhood sweetheart Sarah (Sallie) Lindsey Coleman, whom he met again after revisiting his native state of North Carolina. Coleman was herself a writer and wrote a romanticized and fictionalized version of their correspondence and courtship in her novella Wind of Destiny. "(from Wikipedia) .
