[charles agvent]

               WEST,  Nathaniel.  THE  DAY  OF THE  LOCUST.  New  York:
          Random  House  (1939).  First Edition. Superb  copy  of  this
          scarce  (apparent printing of only 3000 copies) and legendary
          Hollywood  novel about the moral decay of fame-seekers in the
          Depression  era  Land of Unreality. Made into an  interesting
          film directed   by  John  Schlesinger   and  starring  Donald
          Sutherland  and  Karen Black. The red color of both book  and
          dustwrapper    is   piercingly   bright.   The   dustwrapper,
          absolutely  free  of intrusive restoration, is complete  with
          only trivial  wear to the spine tips and corners and a  trace
          of rubbing  at the rear. Fine in a close to Fine dustwrapper.
          Remarkable copy!                                   $15,000
