A Gent From Bear Creek
West Kingston, RI: Donald M. Grant, 1965. First U.S. Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine / Near Fine. Item #012661
12mo., 312pp. Sharp stated First American Edition of the first collection of Breckenridge Elkins stories. Published in a very scarce British Edition by Herbert Jenkins in 1937. Square, tight and clean throughout with little or no wear save some trivial rubbing at the heel and crown. Evidence of bookplate removal on the front paste-down. Equally attractive unclipped dust-jacket, ($4.00), has some light soiling on the rear panel and a miniscule closed tear on the top front edge. Still fresh and bright with no chipping or tears. A very pretty collectable copy. (ISFDB).
