[Charles Agvent]

DOS  PASSOS, John. THE GARBAGE MAN. New York: Harper  1926.  First
Edition.  In  the  first state binding consisting  of  chocolate-brown
boards  with  paper  labels on the front cover and spine.  Only  1,000
copies  were  printed of this play which combines traditional  theater
with  elements of the music hall. Neat bookplate of John Glen  Martner
on  the  front  pastedown. In the scarce dustwrapper designed  by  Dos
Passos  which, except for some light soiling and a 3/4" closed tear on
the  front cover in the gutter, is very nice indeed. A lovely copy  in
dustwrapper and rather scarce as such.                         $450.00
