Prima edizione Copia autografata
Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. First edition. 334pp. Blue cloth gilt. Bookplate, stamp, and small spine label of Harvard's Dunster House Library, else near fine lacking dust jacket. Inscribed by Ransom on the front fly: "I can't read this book now with much pleasure - still, this is flattering - John Crowe Ransom. April 14/66 at Harvard." It seems the flattery only went so far, the bookplate and another page have the rubberstamped notice: "Rejected. Dunster House Library." Ransom's own thoughts that a vengeful God would be better for society than a gentle Jesus, but his admittance that religion is only man-made renders his argument invalid. Apparently Ransom ran up against some vengeful Harvard students. Scarce first edition.

Prima edizione Copia autografata
Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: fair. First edition. A very good copy warmly inscribed by John Crowe Ransom to his friend and fellow Nashville Fugitive poet Merrill Moore: "To Merrill with love and esteem -- John Crowe Ransom." Also signed by Merrill Moore on the inside pastedown. Compliments of the author card laid in. Minor touch of fading to the cloth spine. Moore pasted a small (3 inch) 1932 article from the Nashville Tennessean, about the reissue of the book in England, onto a rear blank. The book has no foxing and the textblock is very clean. Book is tight and perfectly square. Just jacket present but the spie is badly chipped so the book is priced as without jacket. This is just about the best copy of this classic one could hope to find.
