Richard Wright - Native Son - TRUE 1st 1st STATE Book & DJ - African American

Description: Wright, Richard - Native Son - Harper & Brothers: New York, 1940 - First Edition / First Printing / First State Book / First State Dust Jacket - “First Edition” stated on the copyright page as required in order to denote the first printing of the first edition. First state binding in black with stamping in red and grey. First state of the dust jacket with the correct “$2.50” price and no reviews on the spine. "The moment a situation became so that it excited something in him, he rebelled. That was the way he lived; he passed his days trying to defeat or gratify powerful impulses in a world he feared.” The book has some shelf wear with rubbing to all the tips, spits in the cloth most notable to the crown of the spine, general grubbiness and offsetting to the end pages. The dust jacket has splitting, areas of loss, soiling, sunning, and other signs of wear. There are a few very small tape tabs on the verso that someone used to stabilize some of the tears. The true first state dust jacket has become exceedingly scarce and most have been artificially beautified. While this example has obvious issues it is unrestored and unmolested. An uncommon opportunity to obtain the earliest issue of this milestone of African American and 20th century literature. Basis for the 1951 adaptation of the same title, a 1986 adaptation and looser 2019 adaptation. TIME Magazine selected the novel in its 100 Best English-language Novels. The Modern Library selected this novel as one of the 100 best novels of the 20th Century. All books are offered with a full 30 day postage paid return policy. All books which are in dust jackets will be mailed with a clear archival dust jacket protector fitted. Shipping costs can be combined if multiple purchases are made. Items will be packaged and shipped within one business day unless otherwise noted. Please always feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns. ...
