New York: Harcourt, Brace, Jovanovich, 1976. Very good (some light sunning to the covers including a faint impression of the dust jacket image from sunning; one tiny nick and some light soil to top cover edge, one slightly bumped corner--lower rear) in very good, lightly edgeworn and rubbed dust jacket with one 1/2 inch shiny spot from some clear substance stuck to jacket (see scan). SIGNED by author on title page. Author's 6th book, 2nd novel. . Signed by Author. 1st Edition. Hard Cover.

[New York]: The American Mercury, 1926. Paperback. 8vo. Green wrappers. (6pp). Fair plus. Actually a decent example of this remarkably fragile production, printed on thin limp stock -- which explains its exceptional scarcity, for its poor production quality assured a low survival rate. While fairly attractive and even with caution handleable, the original single horizontal fold is present, there are a couple of corner chips and the original stapled fold is slightly separated and delicate. Mencken explains the infamous "Hatrack" case, in which a Massachusetts society tried to prevent the sale of the April 1926 issue of "The American Mercury" because of articles in it they deemed obscene -- sparking a controversial case in which Mencken sued the Post Office. Mencken won and made his point, and the "Hatrack Censorship Case" is now considered a landmark free-speech case. Despite delicate condition, a quite presentable and displayable first edition of this rarity.
