New York: The John Day Company, 1931 First edition, first printing. The rare first issue with "flees" for "fleas" and "John Day Publishing" on copyright page and with top edge stained brown. Bound in the publisher's golden brown cloth. A very good copy, with wear to the spine ends, rubbing to the spine label, some rubbing to the corners, spine starting to crack throughout the text block, although still fully intact, with a former owner's signature in black ink on the front pastedown, otherwise clean pages. The Good Earth is Pearl Buck's second novel, for which she won the Pulitzer Prize in 1932. The plot is set in China, where Buck spent her childhood, and tells the story of a farmer, Wang Lung, and his family. The Good Earth was republished as a trilogy along with its sequels Sons and A House Divided under the title House of Earth in 1935. The Good Earth helped earn Buck the 1938 Nobel Prize for Literature, which she received "for her rich and truly epic descriptions of peasant life in China and for her biographical masterpieces.". First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good.

188 pages Octavo (8 1/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original black cloth with pink inverse lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. Inscribed by the author. First edition. Langston Hughes said of this novel, "Tambourines to Glory is an urban folk tale set against a background of colorful independent, unorthodox churches which have sprung up all over Harlem in the last decade. It is in no sense an attack on organized religion, or on cults as such, but is a fictional expose of certain ways in which religion is misused in large city communities today by various types of unscrupulous leaders who might be called 'gospel racketeers,' preying upon the gullibility of simple people." Condition: Points rubbed, corners bumped, inscribed by Hughes on front end paper, book plate to front paste down, back end paper verso previous owner's name. Original jacket restored by Octavaye Studios, else a very good copy in like jacket.
