NY, Macmillan, 1947. Folded and gathered sheets of his first book, which won the Pulitzer Prize. With "Publication Date Jan 28 1947" rubber-stamped on the title page. Mild acidification to sheets and a bit of dampening to first blank; a very near fine set, laid into a fair dust jacket, edge-chipped where the edges have overhung the pages, and with wear, rubbing, and chipping to the spine. Extremely scarce: Michener's first book is uncommon even in the first trade printing; we have never seen another set of these sheets or any other prepublication copy. In a custom clamshell case.
