Native Son, Richard Wright ~ 1940 First Book Club Edition w/ Facsimile Dust Jkt

Description: Violence is a personal necessity for the oppressed...It is not a strategy consciously devised. It is the deep, instinctive expression of a human being denied individuality. Here we offer the first book club edition of Richard Wright's master-work, Native Son, published by Harper and Brothers, New York, in 1940, concurrent with the first retail edition. The book comes wrapped in a facsimile dust jacket of the highest quality you can only get here, remastered from the first retail edition jacket and printed on coated heavyweight bond. The polymer coating on the paper ensures the brightest colors and sharpest prints, as the ink sits atop the paper rather than being absorbed into the fibers. The book comes with a bookmark with collector's notes for this classic American novel. Lightly soiled and edgeworn boards (please see pics). Intact, uninscribed endpapers. Binding is very tight and square; text is very clean, bright, and crisp. 359 pages. The book measures approximately 8.25 x 6-inches.This brilliant first will make a wonderful addition to your collection or a very special gift.Please click HERE to see our early Harper and Brothers editions. ** Have you seen all the amazing first and rare editions of iconic books we offer?
