(no dust jacket) [reading copy only, with considerable shelfwear to bottom edges (boards exposed in several spots), rear hinge split, vintage bookseller's label (Bert Barber's Book Store, Fort Worth) on rear pastedown].

Apparently her depiction of American life in the middle section of the book was grounded in a personal visit to this country in 1925. View More...
