About This Item
N.Y.: Simon and Schuster, 1930. The Inner Sanctum Novels were still considered experimental in 1930: A sturdy book with a firmer binding than most paper backs and sold for one dollar. This one has a blue cover. The publishers state that blue covers are books ".in a more or less serious vein." Pages 1 & 2 of this book give delightful details regarding the publisher's intent with The Inner Sanctum Novels. "The Earth Told Me" (the author's fourth novel) is set in Alaska. Our copy has light fading to spine, wear to extremities, a bit of dust smudge to front and rear. Blue endpapers with former owner's name and date (1930) and a 1930s era bookplate. Book has full-page biography of Williamson. Text is bright and clean, tight. A good copy of this exceptionally interesting book. Binding: Good Text: v. good.. Stated first edition. Soft Cover. 7 1/4 x 4 3/4.
