About This Item
New York: Albert & Charles Boni, 1928. 8th Printing. Pictorial cloth. Very Good/Good. SIGNED by the Author on the half title, 8vo, gray cloth with black lettering and black stamped delineation of St. Peter's basilica on front cover, archival mylar-protected pictorial dust jacket (unclipped) with stylized (woodblock?) depiction of St. Peter's & bridge, publisher's gray page tops, 230 pages. Thornton Niven Wilder (1897 - 1975) was an American playwright and prominent novelist. He won three Pulitzer Prizes-for the novel The Bridge of San Luis Rey (1927), and for the plays Our Town and The Skin of Our Teeth - plus a U.S. National Book Award for the novel The Eighth Day. Author's debut novel, THE CABALA, was first published in 1926. Though this is a later printing, to have the author's SIGNATURE in his first novel is Very Special. Also, given its early date, to have so bright, clean, and nearly complete a pictorial dust jacket is remarkable. The dj has some wear and light soil plus chipping mainly along its spine.
