The Wicked Pavilion

Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company. Very Good+. 1954. First Edition. Hardcover. (no dust jacket, but encased in a new facsimile reproduction of the original first edition jacket; see 2nd scanned image posted with this listing) [modest wear to cloth at spine ends, light foxing to top of text block, bookplate on front endpaper]. Powell's last great novel, "an exhilarating story of mid-century New York, of many kinds of New Yorkers"; in other words, exactly the sort of thing she did best. (NOTE again that the dust jacket on this book is a FACSIMILE, and that its presence has not been factored into our pricing.) . (Inventory #: 29266)
