Sobre este artículo
New York: Farrar, Straus and Cudahy, 1956. First edition. Very good plus in near fine dust jacket.. Inscribed first printing of this sometimes humorous but always grim Depression-era tale of the doomed Dove Linkhorn, a Texas drifter who lands in New Orleans - inscribed to the founder of the Lord John Press. Ostensibly about "the natural toughness of women and men, in that order" (jacket), A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE focuses more on how the lives of women relate to Dove Linkhorn. This copy is inscribed to noted book and autograph collector Herb Yellin, who established the Lord John Press the year after it was inscribed. Nelson Algren's final commercial success. 8.25'' x 5.5''. Original blue boards with yellow spine. Original unclipped ($4.50) pictorial dust jacket. 346 pages. Inscribed by Algren to publisher Herb Yellin, dated 21 Sept. 1975. Jacket with a touch of edgewear, a hint of rubbing to rear. Binding with a bit of toning to spine, mild bumping to corners and spine ends. Tight.
