About This Item
New York : P.F. Collier & Son, 1923. Hardcover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Very Good - a strong Very Good. See scans and description. First-Thus of the 1923 Collier Broadway edition. New York: P.F. Collier & Son, 1923. "Lummox", by Fanny Hurst, the preeminent popular / social message fiction woman novelist of her era. Octavo, purple cloth boards stamped in blind with author's monogram on front cover and in gilt on spine (scans); 329 pp. A strong Very Good, not far from near fine, with a small dimple and a dust spot on front cover, tiny corner touches and...no other flaws, anywhere. "Lummox" is "written from the perspective of one of society's throwaways - a hardscrabble servant named Bertha, whose labor keeps her employers well-housed and well-fed although she earns only condescension, humiliation, sexual assault, and a bare-bones wage." (Goodreads). Scarce in this edition and condition. Ships in a stout, protective box, of course - not a bag. L83
