It Can't Happen Here by Lewis, Sinclair - 1935

New York: Doubleday, 1935. First Edition. Hard Cover. Dust Jacket. (Garden City, New York: Doubleday, Doran & Company, Inc 1935). First US Edition. Stated First Edition on the Copyright Page. Publisher's black boards with gilt lettering to the spine and embossed medallion to the front board. A near fine (or better) copy (with strong hinges) in like D/W with NO CHIPPING TO THE DUST WRAPPER. Uncommon in this lovely collector's condition. A much nicer copy than normally seen of this novel described by the Guardian as being "eerily prescient". " A vain, outlandish, anti-immigrant, fear-mongering demagogue runs for President of the United States and wins. This chilling 1935 bestseller is the story of Buzz Windrip, who promises poor, angry voters that he will make America proud and prosperous once more, but takes the country down a far darker path".
