TOOMER, Jean. ESSENTIALS. DEFINITIONS AND APHORISMS. Chicago: "Private 
Edition", 1931. First Edition. Some copies of this book are numbered, 
but most seem not to be, and only a very few of the numbered copies are 
signed. The unnumbered copies were apparently remaindered, which 
accounts for the glut of fine, fresh unnumbered copies in dustwrapper on 
the market. This is copy #481 of 1000 SIGNED by the author. Additionally 
this copy is INSCRIBED by Toomer on the front free endpaper: "For 
Mildred C. Green/Jean/Christmas '32/Portage." The author's second book. 
His first book, the novel CANE, was the first book, and one of the 
greatest books, of the Harlem Renaissance. Hard to find this title 
signed, even more so when inscribed by Toomer. The spine is evenly 
sunned, with the sunning extending a little to the top of the rear 
cover. Near Fine, lacking the dustwrapper. (#010718)        $3,000.00
