About This Item
New York: McGraw-Hill, 1975. [1975]. Near Fine in a Very Good dustjacket. Bound in full tan cloth. Both the spine and the front panel are stamped in red. Octavo. Red topstain and endpapers. [xxvi] + 309pps., with a frontispiece by Woodi Ishmael. There is a faint bit of foxing in the area of the endpapers (only), otherwise Fine: clean, tight, square, and bright. No apparent reading wear and no previous ownership markings. The price-clipped dustjacket, glossy in a new mylar sleeve, has shallow chipping at the extremities and a slight tape-repair at the upper front tip. This is an association copy, SIGNED and inscribed thus on the ffep: 'To Jack, with love and Christmas greetings from Dadie and with best wishes from a close friend to your parents -- Jesse Stuart, Christmas 1975. Jack, this book has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize.' Edited and with an Introduction by J. R. LeMaster.
"...Jesse Stuart began his writing career in the unsettled decade of the twenties. America had emerged from World War I restless and rootless. To some, technology offered light at the end of the tunnel. There was an impatient tide away from farms and into urban centers. But, as the editor of this collection notes, 'There have always been those in our midst who have doubted the wisdom of abandoning life on the land in favor of life in the city, of abandoning man's right relation to the land, his place in nature.' Jesse Stuart was one of these.
This collection recognizes that the poet's journey is through space as well as time. He is a fluid self, keeping a record of his ever-changing identity. At first, as seen here, he examines himself, then the life around him on his farm, then, in widening circles, Kentucky, Appalachia, all of America, the world. At last he seeks in the universe an encompassing brotherhood of man. The universal harmony he finds brings him back to his farm, where such harmony has always been..."

Terms of Sale
Nooks Of Books
Payment Methods Accepted:
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover Card, and checks or money orders made out to Jeffrey C. Wright. You can also, if you like, make your payment -- credit card or bank transfer -- through Paypal.com (Acct name: nooksofbooks@comcast.net).
Grading:
Dealers who are otherwise members of prestigious bookselling organizations should know that you can\'t grade a book Fine if it\'s remaindered; nor can a dustjacket be graded Fine that is price-clipped. And yet we see this sort of thing -- more and more -- and from all manner of establishments. It reflects poorly on the industry.
Thus, we recommend that any prospective online customer insist on a thorough description (such as are issued through these Nooks) for any collectible item. We\'re well-versed, here, in the grading process and we do so fairly if not conservatively.
Refunds:
We understand all too well the hesitancy of some collectors to make their purchases online, particularly in such cases where books are scarce or costly. We, therefore, stress the integrity in these Nooks. Your satisfaction is guaranteed, or all costs you\'ve incurred will be refunded -- no questions asked -- providing the book is returned to us in the same condition within two weeks.
Shipping:
Though most booksellers are quite professional and know how to properly handle their wares, I\'ve noticed (being a book-buyer, too) that many online shops can be slipshod and amateurish in their shipping practices. This being so, we\'d like to assure you: when you buy from us the item will be nicely and securely presented. It will be gift-wrapped, sealed in a plastic bag to protect it against water damage, encased in bubble wrap and/or foam \'peanuts\' and boxed. We ship books out the way we like to receive them. Except, perhaps, in the rare occasion of an inexpensive reading copy, I\'d not think of consigning a book from these Nooks to the hard knocks of the postal system in a simple bubble-mailer. You won\'t get that shoddy handling here.
Insurance:
It is our policy to pay the insurance for any purchase over $200.00. Should you like to provide your own insurance for less of a sum, the cost is $1.30 for $50.00 of coverage, $2.20 for $100.00, and $3.20 for up to $200.00 of coverage. Insurance, in such cases, is suggested (simply state your preference in the comments segment during checkout) as we cannot be responsible for books that are lost in transit.
