Pipe Night
1945016359NY: Duell Sloan and Pearce. 1945. An uncommon book by the author of Butterfield 8 and Appointment in Samarra among others. Inscribed by the author to WEAF radio personality Mary Margaret McBride in the year of publication: "To Mary Margaret/ and how are your/ taste-buds/ Sincerely/ John O'Hara/ WEAF/ 20 March 1945." Books inscribed by O'Hara are uncommon although later in his career he did a number of signed limited editions. A fragile book cheaply produced under wartime conditions this is a very attractive copy. Some spotting to rear board and fading to spine cloth; near fine in a very good dust jacket with a couple of small internally tape-mended edge tears. Unless otherwise noted our first editions are first printings. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. Duell, Sloan and Pearce hardcover books
