About This Item
The 2nd printing is the First Trade Edition after a signed limited printing. Greenish brown cloth with orange(title, stands out) and black lettering(fading on spine because of soiling). Soiled spine, wear to the spine ends, not to bad top more on bottom(there are small tears beginning to show) and minor tip wear. Previous owners name(and street # and name) in ink 1st leaf. A touch of foxing to the first/last pages and pastedowns. The bind is still holding tight, a nice copy to fill the gap till you can afford the $2000-5000 signed limited. Many photos of this book being offered at $250.
Synopsis
One of Ours is a novel by Willa Cather which won the 1923 Pulitzer Prize. It tells the story of the life of Claude Wheeler, a native of Nebraska around the turn of the 20th century. The son of a successful mid-western farmer and an intensely pious mother, thus guaranteed a comfortable livelihood, Claude Wheeler nonetheless views himself as a victim of his father's success and his own inexplicable malaise.

I am a private collector, mainly Pulitzer Prize winners, but I inherited 1000's of hardcovers and looking to sell them off. I will be relocating in the near future, and need to lighten the load.
