Tucked inside this copy are loose, original vintage typewritten pages from Lucy Tandy’s original 1932 University of Oklahoma Graduate School Thesis.

These include:

1 The original 1932 Thesis Title Page stating: "Ernesto Giménez Caballero and 'La Gaceta Literaria' - A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty... by Lucy Tandy, Norman, Oklahoma, 1932."

2 The original 1932 Acknowledgment Page (Page 111) where Tandy explicitly details her personal correspondence with Señor Giménez Caballero, thanking him for the reference materials, friendly letters, and autographed books he sent her from Spain to Norman, Oklahoma in the early 1930s.

Condition Notes

Cover: Softcover wraps are in Good to Very Good condition. The striking red and white newspaper-style cover remains bright. Shows light edge wear, minor rubbing to the spine ends, and gentle handling wear typical of Spanish softcovers of this era.

Binding: Tight, square, and completely secure.

Interior: The text block is clean, crisp, and completely free of modern highlighting, underlining, or margin notes. The handwritten inscription by Caballero is bold, clean, and perfectly legible. The included 1932 thesis carbon paper inserts show expected age-toning, dust-soiling, and delicate edges from age, but remain entirely legible and intact.
