The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by McCullers, Carson - 1940

Houghton Mifflin Company, 1940 First Edition, First Printing with the 1940 date on both the title page and copyright page. Later editions do not have the 1940 date on the title page. An attractive copy of this first state dustjacket with "Summer's Lease" on back flap that has benefitted from expert restoration. The end result is a beautiful dustjacket that is vibrant in color with no tears and has the $2.50 price present. The book is in excellent shape with light foxing to the inside front endpaper. The binding is tight, and there is no writing, marks or bookplates in the book. Overall, a stunning copy of this true first edition with the original First Issue dustjacket.
