Look Homeward, Angel

First Edition/First Printing with 1929 and the Scribner's Seal to the copyright page, also with first state points on pages 308 and 506. A Near Fine book in a Very Good dust jacket. A spectacular copy of this high point in American Literature, the debut novel for Wolfe, and basis for multiple film and stage adaptations; scarce in the first printing and in this condition. This copy is in near fine condition with a square, tight binding, bright gold lettering over dark blue boards, and clean pages throughout with only a hint of age-toning; the book does show some light rubbing to the edges, a couple of faint smudges to the boards, and a previous bookstore's (truncated) small stamp to the rear pastedown, else fine. Housed in a sharp and bright original very good dust jacket that has benefitted from some professional restoration and reinforcement, giving this copy a beautiful presentation. Unfortunately, due to loss of paper at the spine head, "Look" is missing from the jacket spine. Housed in a custom clamshell case by Octavaye. Not remaindered, not price clipped ($2.50 intact), not ex-library; in a fresh Mylar sleeve and will ship carefully wrapped in a sturdy box. (Inventory #: 2988)
