Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION. Published anonymously, David Liebovitz's first novel is a picaresque narrative of a prototypically optimistic American. Lewis Mumford, whose correspondence with Liebovitz was later featured in a volume of letters, wrote that the book "has all the humor and juiciness of Mark Twain." Liebovitz later published two novels under his name: Chronicle of an Infamous Woman in 1933, and Canvas Sky in 1946. Scarce. Publisher's dark red cloth, titles and rules stamped in black on the cover and spine, dust jacket. BOOK: Boards unmarked and square, top-stain dark, contents clean. DJ: Partially clipped dust jacket ($2 still visible to inner flap), with a restrained, avant-garde depiction of a wheat harvester in brown, black, grey, and white, by William Gropper; very short closed tear to front panel upper edge, with thin spots of loss to top of back cover and spine ends. A very handsome copy.
