About This Item
NY: Knopf, 1927. 1st ed. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. 89p. Original light pastel striped boards backed in cloth. dj. 19cm. Jacket has moderate soiling and is chipped and rather worn along edges and folds. Spine lettering still legible. Former owners' name on front free endpaper. The binding is one of about three variants, with no established priority of which we are aware. Hughes' second book, The title was controversial, possibly affecting sales, as did the bleak and often violent existence depicted in these spare, poetic snapshots of the African American underclass.
