About This Item
Indianapolis: Bobbs Merrill, 1928. This is the First Edition stated on the copyright page, this title is getting very hard to find and the price keeps going up, there is no DJ but check the bonus at the last of this listing. Book has minor shelf wear to the edges, light rubbing, hinges holding nicely make the book very square, very very clean, with the top edge stained a faded red, and uneven cut pages. The label on the front cover is bearly rubbed, but the label on the spine does have a wee bit more light scratches and rubbing, but very very bright and readable, no marks I can see. BONUS: I believe this is the first issue from Grossett & Dunlap because of the dark red-stained top page edge, has its dustjacket with minor chipping and rubbing and light soiling(now in mylar), the book itself is NF and very collectible, this book is about 1/2 taller than the true 1st edition, but if you trimmed the DJ you would have a nice substitute DJ for the 1st edition. Bonus 2: a smalled Signed and numbered copy that was printed on bonded paper, leather covers to help make the book last longer because this was the Airplane Edition and I know I would have rather taken the TRAIN myself back then. It is a nice copy condition about Good or better with minor staining rubbing and wear to the edges, 3rd BONUS: is another copy from Bobbs-Merrill that some would call the unstated 1st edition, it is a later printing(unknown) period, but it is a very nice copy with pink label spine(faded) but black stands out, front label is NF or better, the book has a very slight lean (stored correctly would do the trick), otherwise NF or better. A very nice collection for the money. Stated First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket.
Synopsis
Scarlet Sister Mary is a 1928 novel by Julia Peterkin. It won the Pulitzer Prize for the Novel in 1929. It was called obscene and banned at the public library in Gaffney, South Carolina. The Gaffney Ledger newspaper, however, serially published the complete book. Dr. Richard S. Burton, the chairperson of Pulitzer's fiction-literature jury, recommended that the first prize go to the novel Victim and Victor by Dr. John B. Oliver.
