DREISER, Theodore. AMERICA IS WORTH SAVING. New York: Modern Age Books,
(1941). First Edition. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the
half-title page: "To and for--/Helen Arnold/gratefully recalling
her/many courtesies to me/in Indianapolis. From/Theodore
Dreiser/Hollywood,/December/1941/I think the facts of this book/will
interest you." Dreiser calls upon his fellow Americans to remember the
principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution as
the country dangerously drifted toward war. Fittingly inscribed in the
very month the United States declared war against Japan. Very Good in a
Very Good dustwrapper of the scarcer hardcover issue with a fine
inscription. (#016431) $1,000.00
