ANDERSON,  Sherwood. HORSES AND MEN. TALES, LONG AND  SHORT,  FROM
OUR  AMERICAN LIFE. New York: B. W. Huebsch, Inc. 1923. First Edition.
Fine  in  light  orange  cloth with a perfect paper  label.  The  dust
jacket  is  bright and intact--with no chipping--but there is a  small
closed  tear which has caused some wrinkling on the lower front panel.
This  copy  has been SIGNED by the author on the half-title  page  and
there  is a small notation in pencil on the front blank: "autograph by
Anderson  for  F.W.S." This copy was previously owned by Frederick  W.
Skiff  (noted Portland rare book collector and author of ADVENTURES IN
AMERICANA)  and  then became part of the Estelle Doheny Collection  of
American  Literature.  Both  the  Skiff   and  Doheny  bookplates  are
present.  Signed  copies  of Anderson's books in  fine  condition  are
becoming very difficult to find.                               $750.00
