Gebraucht, [PU: J.B. Lippincott Company], Jacket, 8vo. Red and blue horizontally striped cloth boards are Fair. Spine is cracked from front and back boards but still attached. Edgewear and corner bumping. Textblock has the slightest age tanning but is clean and bright. One plate is detached. Ex-library copy from the Works Progress Administration (W.P.A.) collection of the Indiana State Library and from an Indiana public library with usual stamps and markings. First Edition,signed By Hurston on the verso of the front loose endpaper under a pasted in cut-out from the book jacket. Half-title has a half-inch tear from thumbing. In surprisingly shape since it was a circulating copy in a public library. As part of the W.P.A. Federal Writer's Project in the 1930's, Hurston was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship to pursue research on voodoo in Jamaica and Haiti. Hurston "took part in the rites .and she describes what she saw with all the poetry and literary ability that characterizes her writing." (from the jacket blurb) A very special item. More photos are available upon request.<
