BALDWIN, James. GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 
1953. First Edition. Baldwin's first book, this likely an uncommon 
Review Copy from a paperback house with a typed slip neatly taped to the 
front free endpaper on which publication details, including date 
received of 4/16/53, are listed. In pencil someone has written "to Pat 
offered $5000" with a May date. Dustwrapper art by John O'Hara Cosgrave 
II. One of the Modern Library's 100 greatest novels of the twentieth 
century. The book has a very faint dampstain to the heel of the spine 
that wraps around both covers and is visible as well internally on the 
dustwrapper and only slightly on the rear panel externally. The front 
panel of the dustwrapper is intact and bright; the rear panel has a 
closed two-inch tear and crease; the spine is typically sunned with 
chips at the head affecting the last letters of Baldwin's name. Near 
Fine in a Very Good, unrestored dustwrapper, nicer than it sounds.
