[spine slightly turned, a bit of dust-soiling to top edge, a couple of lightly bumped corners, one-time owner's address label on front pastedown; jacket moderately edgeworn, spine browned, small chip at top of rear panel; jacket a teensy bit shorter than the book, apparently made that way]. "A novel of protest, written by a young apostle of revolt, against the present system of education in the colleges." Although the author is not identified by gender, the book seems to have a definite feminist slant, telling of the travails of a young graduate student teaching Freshman English whil... View More...
(no dust jacket) [worn but still sound copy, a bit of bumping/fraying at all corners, spine cloth faded (lettering just about gone)]. Epistolary relationship/romance novel. View More...
[nice tight clean copy, minor shelfwear only; jacket very attractive, with just a touch of soiling and a couple of tiny edge-nicks]. The trials and tribulations of an unwed mother -- or, more precisely, a divorcee who gets knocked up by her lover, then refuses his half-hearted marriage proposal, and subsequently suffers "pain, hunger, want."

It's kind of a fantasy-satire in which the title cha... View More...
(no dust jacket) [pretty rough condition, reading copy only; heavy external wear, all pages attached but binding weak, rear endpapers removed with consequent weakening of rear hinge, vintage bookseller's label on front pastedown].
