About this book
God's Little Acre by author Erskine
Caldwell tells the story of a rural, proletariat family in South
Carolina whose lives seemingly revolve around the pursuit of sex and
money. A commentary on the plight of the working class sans union
protection in the 1930s, the novel also explores themes on land and
resource conservation. Due to the sexual imagery, Caldwell was sued
for the dissemination of pornography, but ultimately prevailed in
court. The case and decision is considered significant in the
establishment of modern interpretations of first amendment rights and
freedom of expression.
Published in 1933 by The Viking Press in black cloth printed in orange and green, the simple pictoral jacket with a sunrise seems to imply a pastoral theme far removed from the actual book's contents. As was the custom for Viking Press at the time, a first has neither a statement of first edition, nor any mention of subsequent printings. It's not uncommon to find a copy in the sunny jacket for around $2,000-$4,000 with signed copies pushing the price up to around $5,000-$6,000.

First line
SEVERAL yards of undermined sand and clay broke loose up near the top, and the land slid down to the floor of the crater.
