Caldwell, Erskine, GOD'S LITTLE ACRE.
Franklin Center, PA: The Franklin Library, 1979. Limited edition and signed by the author on the front free end paper, signature page has a tissue guard. Full brown leather, with gilt tooled decorations, Fine. It appears that the first time this book has been opened is when we did so to catalogue it. This will be an enhancement to any library and is also special because of Caldwell's signature. 224 pages. 8 5/8 x 6 1/2.
Illustrated with dramatic duo tone plates by Harry Schaare. Special message written by the author for this edition. Laid in is the 22 page booklet, "Notes from the Editor." A beautiful edition of Caldwell's classic novel of rural Southern life in the early 1930's. It is somewhat amusing today to read this book and realize that it was the constant subject of book banning over the years. By today's standards, difficult to understand what anyone saw that was so threatening as to cause it to be banned.
