About This Item
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1922. Boards. Very Good +/Very Good. The October 1922 limited edition, designed by the redoubtable Bruce Rogers. One of 2000 copies issued in the publisher's printed dustjacket and slipcase. Solid, tight and VG+ (very light staining to the front board) in a crisp, VG dustjacket, with even offsetting at the front and rear panels, and mild darkening --and a touch of scuffing-- along the spine. The original tissue-guard protecting the frontispiece portrait ("Ethan Frome's Kitchen") present and very clean. And including a sturdy, VG+ to Near Fine slipcase, with just a touch of wear along the spine ends and the top-edge. A very presentable copy.
Synopsis
Ethan Frome is a novel that was published in 1911 by the Pulitzer Prize-winning American author Edith Wharton. It is set in turn-of-the-century New England in the fictitious town of Starkfield, Massachusetts. The novel was adapted into a film in 1993.
Reviews
On Dec 7 2004, Pazzo Books said:
Other than an unmitigated desire to smack the whiny lady upstairs, Ethan Frome had virtually no impact on me. While most books I really detest are extremely long, Wharton managed to flip the switch in what is basically a novella. Impressive.
