Edition originale
Presumed first edition (no direct statement provided). [4], 120 pages. Hardcover: H 19.25cm x L 13.25cm. White dust jacket soiled with some staining; chipping at worn edges with the deepest loss being bottom 3cm of spine panel; dj now presented in a mylar Brodart protector. Maroon cloth; light bumping at spine ends with spine's gilt stamping dulled but legible; front board decorated with black stamping. Toning to edges and endpapers; some foxing to several initial and rear leaves but with interior text pages overall remain clean. Binding is firm. A very good- copy in a good dust jacket. With biographical Preface by Upton Sinclair on pages 3-8. Pages 15-117 feature 102 sonnets dedicated to Upton Sinclair's wife Mary Craig Kimbrough Sinclair, a gracious belle from Greenwood, Mississippi in whom George Sterling found inspiration as a muse and sought to marry before she met and wed author Upton in 1913. Despite the emotional heart-strings, Sterling became a close friend of the activist couple. A highly regarded but not well-known northern California poet and playwright, George Sterling was active in San Francisco and Carmel-by-the-Sea literary circles from 1890 until his death by suicide in 1926. Per the Upton Sinclair imprint, this copy should be the book's first edition as a trade or second edition was issued by New York publisher Albert & Charles Boni also in 1928.
