Price reduced:     Was $7500,      Now $2500

LEWIS, Sinclair. GIDEON PLANISH. New York: Random House, (1943). First 
Edition. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author to the actress Lillian Gish: 
"To my darling/Lillian Gish with/blessings from/Hollywood/Sinclair 
Lewis/Sept. 2, 1943." A fairly early presentation as the novel was 
published in April of 1943 and certainly an important one as Lillian 
Gish and her sister Dorothy were friends of Lewis's. The book is cocked 
and likely Lewis was also at the time of the presentation as he 
inscribed the book upside down on the rear endpaper, obviously holding 
the book upside down while writing. Very minor wear to the lower 
corners. Very Good in a Very Good dustwrapper with minor chipping to the 
spine tips. (#008867)        $2,500.00 NET
