About This Item

Minor edge and corner wear, scuffed and scratched, no dj, corners are lightly bumped and rubbed, some light shelf wear, light fraying at the top of the spine, overall a clean used first American edition! Deckle page edges. Green cloth with a pastedown on the spine. 343 very clean unmarked and uncreased historical pages! "Somehow my play, Too True To Be Good, has in performance excited an animosity and an enthusiasm which will hardly be accounted for by the printed text. Some of the spectators felt that they had had a divine revelation, and overlooked the fact that the eloquent gentleman through whose extremely active mouth they had received it was the most hopeless sort of scoundrel: that is, one whose scoundrelism consists in the absence of conscience rather than in any positive vices, and is masked by good looks and agreeable manners." ---- from the Preface (Money and Happiness).. First American Edition. Green Cloth. Good/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
