About This Item
NY: Harcourt, Brace, (1925). First edition, signed issue.. Gray-blue paper boards, cream cloth spine with printed paper label. Top edge gilt. Title page printed in red & black. A nice clean copy, about fine, in a worn and repaired slipcase which is missing the top. The printed spine label is yellowed and has some discoloration, BUT the extra spine label is still tipped-in at the rear, and it is in as-new condition. Limited to 500 signed and numbered copies, this is #11. Arrowsmith was awarded the Pulitzer Prize, which Lewis declined to accept.
