About This Item
Philadelphia: Lippincott, 1935. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Scarce first edition of this influential book of folktales by Zora Neale Hurston. Brown/orange cloth with black titles to the front board and spine - alligator stamped in black on the front board as well. Introduction by Franz Boas; illustrations by Miguel Covarrubias. The book is very good with a small (1/8") tear at the top of the spine; stain to the bottom of the spine (about 1/4" by 1"). The jacket has been restored from pieces: the result is a fully intact wrapper with a darkened spine and a couple of visible tape marks to the rear panel. Not price-clipped although the bottom of the front flap is clipped. Rare in any condition; extremely scarce in the jacket.
