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 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, especially in dustwrappers. Fine in a close to Fine 
dustwrapper. (#010754) $750.00
