A propos de cet article

First edition (as stated upon copyright page). 208 pages. Paperback: H 20.75cm x L 13.5cm. Black paper covers rubbed with slight scuffing at edges. Several small dark stains to text block's bottom edge with leaves fractionally affected at margins; small dark brown stain strongest on pages 70-75 with diminishing effect on pages 68-69 and 76-77; interior pages otherwise are clean. Binding is firm. A very good- copy of an uncommon book. Editor and publisher of the Pascagoula, Mississippi Chronicle-Star newspaper from 1951 to 1963, Ira B. Harkey Jr. (1918-2006) won a 1963 Pulitzer Prize for his anti-segregation editorials. The book was issued in hardback and paperback versions both of which have copyright page "First edition" statements. However it seems that the paperback has priority as its brief final chapter runs as pages 205-208 compared to the hardback's final chapter being pages 205-207 with an altered typeset. Furthermore the paperback has a rather ineloquent closing line which is omitted in the hardcover - such an excision lends credence to the paperback being the true first as the author (or perhaps a Harris-Wolfe editor) recognized the cumbersome final summation lacked the cumulative impact of the preceding sentence and therefore dropped it. This attribution would make the hardback, despite its first edition statement, actually a second edition as both the final chapter's textual difference and altered typeset required a separate print run (it should be noted that no other typeset changes were discovered between hardback and paperback copies upon a random sampling of leaves). {MS-Shelf#2}.…
