Main Street: The Story of Carol Kennicott

Descripción

This is the first edition, but a later issue (probably a second "state') as the number "4" on page 54 is imperfect as is the letter "y" in the word "may" on the bottom of page 387. The book was originally expected to sell 10 - 20,000 copies, but in the first year sold 180,000 copies--the publisher kept printing copies since the demand was so high. The original printing plates became worn, thus causing the changes in the text noted above. The Pulitzer jury awarded their prize to Lewis for this book, but it was overturned by the Board and the award instead went to Edth Wharton for "The Age of Innocence." Original blue cloth publishers binding with orange decorations. A nice clean, tight and unmarked book with no interior or exterior markings and no significant shelf wear. This offers an opportunity to own ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 451 pages. N° de ref. del artículo 19567
