[Charles Agvent]

Price reduced to $500

LEWIS, Sinclair. BABBITT. New York: Harcourt Brace, (1922). First 
Edition. Bibliographically interesting copy in that it is with the 
second state of the text but is a review copy stamped by the publisher 
on the title page as a Sample Copy with a publication date of 14 
September 1922. Apparently only 9500 copies of the first state were 
printed though the book had a prepublication printing of 80,500 copies, 
which would, it seems, account for this copy. In the scarce and fragile 
dustwrapper which is missing a 3-1/2" x 1" ragged piece at the bottom of 
the rear panel and which has a 1" chip at the base of the spine and a 
somewhat smaller one at the head. About Fine in a Good dustwrapper. . 
(#008361) $850.00
