What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Uncommon, With Dustwrapper

The first edition of this uncommon work in the publisher's original cloth binding, with the very scarce original unclipped dust wrapper. Olive Higgins Prouty (1882-1974) was an American author, best known for her financial support of Sylvia Plath, and also her 1923 novel Stella Dallas. This work is the first novel of Prouty's popular Vale series, following Fabia Vale as she falls in love with Daniel Regan, against a background of class-conscious Boston society. It is an uncommon volume, in the even rarer dust wrapper.

Condition

In the publisher's original cloth binding, with the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally cloth is smart and bright, with just a couple of faint marks to the spine and rear board. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean. Dust wrapper is bright, with a little shelf wear to the front of the wrap. Some chipping to the head of the spine and to the upper extremities of the folds to the flaps.

Very Good Indeed
