191166101Nashville: Orion 1911. Fourth version. Hardcover. Very Good. 193p. 19cm. Attractive modern quarterbinding with marbled boards. Text has some wear and a few brown spots. No Jacket. Rev. Griggs was the author of a number of books and is best known for the five novels he wrote and self-published between 1899 and 1908. This is a non-fiction item about racial issues which was apparently first published in 1909 in 2 versions of 116 and 134 pages a third version in 1910 of 145 pages and 2 further versions in 1911 of 193 and 259 pages. This makes this a copy the 4th version or edition. We owe this information to John Gruesser a professor of English at Kean University who inquired about the contents of another copy and was kind enough not to mention our previous misidentification of the edition. The 5th version added a final section with a separate title-page "Beyond the End" and table of contents but does not appear to have revised any of the material in the first 193 pages. <br/><br/> Orion hardcover books

Attractive recent quarterbinding with marbled boards. Condition of the contents is about Good with some wear. a few brown spots and several partial erasures of some pencil markings. No Jacket. Rev. Griggs was the author of a number of books and is best known for the five novels he wrote and self-published between 1899 and 1908. This is a non-fiction item about racial issues which was apparently first published in 1909 in 2 versions of 116 and 134 pages a third version in 1910 of 145 pages and 2 further versions in 1911 of 193 and 259 pages. This makes our copy the 4th version or edition. We owe this information to John Gruesser a professor of English at Kean University who inquired about the contents of another copy and was kind enough not to mention our previous misidentification of the edition. One chapter or section that caught our eye is titled "Southern Statesmanship and the Negro Woman" pages 127-142 which talks about the defenseless position of African American women under white supremacy the claimed desire of whites to maintain racial purity and the impossibility of doing that unless African American women are protected from predatory white men. The 5th version apparently adds a final section -- with a separate title-page "Beyond the End" and a Table of Contents -- but we are told that no material in the first 193 pages appears to have been revised in that final edition.

1934brnjPutnam London 1934. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. 568 pages complete. First edition of the first English translation of 'Wir Einmal Aus Dem Blechnapf Frisst' the translation was published in the same year as the novel was published in Germany. This novel of a petty criminal who finds it difficult to reintegrate into society after a spell in prison closely resembles Fallada's experience when he was imprisoned for fraud and theft due to his drug addictions. The book too closely details the way of life in Germany as the Nazis were enforcing their power. Indeed Fallada was in much trouble with the Nazis as this book was published. This copy is in benign condition. The boards are worn scuffed and marked all about. The corners are worn the spine has much wear to the head and foot. However the boards and spine are secure and comfortable. Within the contents are most pleasing. There are two previous owner signatures Dr I Sacks of Winburg. There are very occasional marks from use. By far the pages are in excellent condition. They are fresh in feel and aspect they are clean clear confident generous. fk.
