(Cummington), Cummington Press, 1944. The first book by the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning author, published in a limited edition by Harry Duncan at the Cummington Press. This is one of 224 copies of a total edition of 250. Inscribed by the author to Anne Sweeney, the daughter of James Johnson Sweeney, longtime curator of the Museum of Modern Art. Spine and cover edges a little faded, tips of boards worn, some internal foxing up to the title page. Overall about very good, lacking the plain tissue dust jacket. A nice association copy of an uncommon first book. [#023252] SOLD
