Pearl S. Buck: A Biography

New York: John Day Company, (1969, 1971).

Price: $250.00

Hardcover. Two volumes. First editions. Volume One is fine in a price-clipped, near fine dustwrapper with a short tear on the front panel. Volume Two is fine in a near fine dustwrapper with a little rubbing, and slight fading at the spine. Both volumes are warmly Inscribed by Harris to a man who was named Buck’s official bibliographer, but whose bibliography was never completed. Additionally Volume Two is warmly Inscribed by Buck to the same individual. Not much of a biography, but an interesting window into Buck’s association with Harris, which was the source of a scandal that marred both her reputation and her relationship with her family. For both volumes.
