Hardcover. First edition. Introduction by Fannie Hurst. The usual fading at the top of the boards else fine in fine dustwrapper that has undergone some expert restoration that is visible only with effort. A very attractive copy of a rare book. This example of the jacket does not display the red “Book of the Month Club” sticker on the front panel, apparently added by the club in its early years when it simply distributed trade copies of a title, and before they printed their own editions using cheaper materials, but which is not a known issue point in any event. The author’s rare first book, a novel about a big, lovable Alabama preacher with a strong appetite for extramarital affection.
