Condition: Near Fine in Very Good- dj
Description: New York: Charles Scribner's Sons. Near Fine in Very Good- dj. 1928. First Edition. Hardcover. (price-clipped) [good sound copy, minimal shelfwear, faint spotting and light dust-soiling to top of text block; the jacket has a handful of small edge-nicks, is scuffed on the front and rear panels, faded and scuffed along the spine, with a shallow chip at the top of the spine]. Novel set in the Bohemian/art world of New York City, centering around an unsuccessful artist -- "a wild, disorderly, masculine fellow, who could never look after himself in any practical sense" -- who becomes a great critic and journalist, thanks in large measure to the efforts of his devoted and level-headed wife to control his worst impulses and channel his talents -- which doesn't stop him from becoming infatuated with another woman. A contemporary critic commented on the book's "good story, written intelligently, intelligibly, and, what is more important, interestingly," further praising the author's "rapid pencil sketches of New York's higher Bohemia, not the people who pretend to do things, but those who really do." The author had been a book editor at Scribner's from 1914 until 1926; this was his third novel, and he would go on to write more than two dozen more books, primarily biography and non-fiction. .
