NY, Viking, 1933. His second full-length novel, with themes of union-busting, gold, murder, and sex, which was censored in New York and led to the author's arrest and prosecution on obscenity charges. Tiny bookstore label rear pastedown from the Gotham Book Mart and small rectangle of offsetting to front flyleaf; still a fine copy in a fine dust jacket, with just minuscule corner nicks. A beautiful copy, doubtless one of the finest, if not the finest copy extant. [#911018] SOLD
