WILDER, Thornton. THE MERCHANT OF YONKERS. New York and London: Harper & 
Brothers, 1939. First Edition. Wilder based MERCHANT on a play by Johann 
Nestroy dating back to Vienna of 1842. Initially a flop, MERCHANT was 
revised by Wilder into a Broadway hit THE MATCHMAKER, which in turn was 
transformed into the monster musical HELLO, DOLLY!. Nice copy in a 
handsome dustwrapper with internally reinforced 3/4" closed tear on the 
rear panel near the head of the spine. Fine in a Near Fine and quite 
uncommon dustwrapper. (#011268)        $450.00
