STRIBLING, T. S. FOMBOMBO. New York & London: The Century Company, 1923. 
First Edition. This copy INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the first 
blank: "You are very lucky to get/this book Mr. Ording/not many of 
them/T S Stribling/Dec 17 1940." A very nice copy of this comic romance 
by America's foremost author of the 1920s and 1930s. An uncommon title, 
witness Stribling's own words, especially when found in its attractive 
dustwrapper with art by J. Clinton Shepherd. Closed jagged tear, about 
an inch, at the top front panel of the dustwrapper near the spine edge 
not affecting any lettering, and small chips at the top rear panel and 
front corner, again not affecting any lettering. Near Fine in a bright, 
Very Good or better dustwrapper.

Stribling sold more books than any author between the two world wars, 
and that includes Hemingway and Faulkner. He was the first of two 
Alabama authors to receive the Pulitzer Prize for Literature, the other 
being Harper Lee for TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. (#014230)     $1,000.00
