Very Good in Very Good jacket. Ex-Library. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. Garden City, NY, Doubleday, Doran & Co., 1929. First thus. 8vo. Dark red cloth with gold colored lettering on spine and front board, endpapers decorated with village scenes, two color title page, rough cut pages, 351 pp. Ms. Glasgow's social satire about the various ways women "stoop to folly" and the roles of women in the World War I era in the American South. Aunt Agatha sinned mournfully in an earnest age. What really ruined poor Aunt Agatha was not a fall from virtue but Victorian psychology. Mrs. Dalrymple sinned lightly and went to Paris. From a provincial and pretty widow, with a soft heart and a brittle character, she had been transformed into a bright, hard woman of the world, who exchanged her birthright of modesty for a profitable understanding of men. Millie sinned naturally, as if it were her own private concern. Around this ironic theme, Ellen Glasgow has written her wittiest novel! Rare! Ex-library, but only signs of this are date stamps on a rear page. Dust jacket replaced with brown paper with laid in title plates on spine and front, spine and top edge are sunned. Spine slightly sunned and frayed top and bottom, corners lightly rubbed, lower front corner slightly bumped, rear hinge weak. Text block clean, solid. Very good in a very good bookseller-created dust jacket, protected by a mylar cover.
