[Rarebooks] FS: Langston Hughes: Sweet Flypaper of Life, hardcover & softcover First Editions

[Charles Agvent]

1.  HUGHES, Langston & DeCARAVA, Roy. THE SWEET FLYPAPER OF LIFE.  New
York:  Simon & Schuster (1955). First Edition. The very uncommon cloth
issue.  Other than a small stain to the fore-edge of about the last 25
pages with minimal showing in the very outer margin, this is a bright,
clean  copy.  Very  Good or better, lacking  the  scarce  dustwrapper.
                                                                $350.00

2.  HUGHES, Langston & DeCARAVA, Roy. THE SWEET FLYPAPER OF LIFE.  New
York:  Simon  & Schuster (1955). First Edition. Pictorial wraps,  also
issued  in  hardcover  which  is much more  uncommon.  Roy  DeCarava's
photographs  nicely  complement  Hughes's  fine prose.  Very  Good  or
better.                                                        $150.00
