Faulkner, William - Unvanquished - Random House: New York, 1938 - First Edition / First Printing - “First Printing” stated on the copyright page as required in order to denote the first printing of the first edition.
The book has tanning to the spine, light shelf wear, and browning to the paste downs from the old binders glue. The boards are otherwise straight and clean with all of the stamping still legible. The binding is square and firm, the top stain is dark, and internally the text block is clean. The price clipped dust jacket has soiling and tanning to the spine. There are no chips, tears, or other serious flaws and is rather handsome in that respect. This novel is set during the Civil War and is centered on the Sartoris family but is set before the Sartoris novel. Illustrated by Edward Shenton who is well remembered for his illustrations in Rawlings’ novel The Yearling. Uncommon in well preserved condition such as this.
