Cather, Willa - Death Comes for the Archbishop - Alfred A Knopf: New York, 1927 - First Edition / First Printing / First State - Matching dates present on the title and copyright pages and no mention of later printings as required in order to denote the first printing of the first edition. First state with the two textual errors: "happned" on page 20 line 16, and "suppper" on page 57 line 15.

“One of TIME magazine’s 100 Best English-language Novels and also selected as one of The Modern Library's 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.”

This example has a small stain to the rear board, tanning to the spine label, a name neatly penned on the front end page and some minor shelf wear. That being said, the boards are bright, binding is square and firm, and the block is very clean internally. Likely one of the nicest unjacketed copies of this work we have seen in a while now. This is the correct first issue with the required "happned" and "suppper" textual errors present. A beautiful copy of one of Cather's two most important and lasting works.
