About This Item
New York: Farrar & Rinehart, 1942. Advance Copy. Softcover. Very Good. Advance Reading Copy. First edition. xix, 318 pp. Self-wraps, glued to spine and perhaps slightly trimmed, plain endpapers. About Very Good. Wraps a bit toned and fragile. Front cover worn along edges with a few small tears. Light stain to back cover. Slight lean to spine. One of the "pre-publication copies" that Wylie mentions in a later introduction that went out to reviewers and literary light such as Walter Winchell, Taylor Caldwell, and Earnest Hooton. This scathing indictment of America was a runaway bestseller, rapidly selling through its initial print run of 4,000. Rare thus.
