New York: The Macmillan Company, 1934. First Edition. First printing. Inscribed by Robinson "to Mr. & Mrs. Arthur Spingarn," signed, dated 1934. First printing. Octavo. Deep blue cloth (hardcover); 105pp. A fine copy, in original dustwrapper which retains the uncommon publisher's wraparound band, advertising Robinson's Pulitzer Prizes in 1922, 1925, and 1928. Jacket clipped by publisher, with overprinted price of $2.00 at base of front flap; both jacket and advertising band slightly soiled and rubbed; Very Good.
An excellent presentation copy; Spingarn, a voracious bibliophile, was at this time Vice President of the NAACP; he would assume the Presidency a few years later, succeeding his brother Joel in 1940.
