A propos de cet article

Paperback. A signed handwritten postcard on the author's stationery accompanies this 1960s Popular Library edition of the first novel by queer Black poet, novelist, and playwright Owen Vincent Dodson (1914-1983), who was incredibly influential in the development of the Black Theater Movement. Responding to a white fan (with the same surname) of When Trees Were Green on his own stationery (with hand-corrected new address, Dodson wrote: "My dear Mrs. Dodson - Thank you for your letter about my book: When Trees Were Green. It is a wonderful feeling to a writer to know that his work is appreciated and has added his emotions to others. I hope your year will be pleasant. Best Wishes, Owen Dodson, Sept. 6, 1967." Generally considered to be autobiographical, When Trees Were Green, originally published under the title Boy at the Window, is a coming of age novel about a 9-year-old Brooklyn boy named Coin Foreman, called as "vivid as Catcher in the Rye" by the New York Times. Signed handwritten postcard on author's stationery responding to a fan of When Trees Were Green, dated September 6th, 1967, taped in to front endpapers. Copyright states 1951, but more likely this Popular Library edition was published later, around 1967. 6 7/8" X 4 1/4". 143pp, plus ad. Rather heavy wear to color pictorial wraps, with creasing, lean to spine, spot of soiling to upper wrap, and small tear to tail of creased spine. All edges purple. Previous owner's name (same as recipient of postcard) to front pastedown. Binding is firm and sound. Pages are uniformly age-yellowed else clean and unmarked.…

Description de la boutique

Underground Books, ABAA is an online rare and antiquarian bookshop, founded in 2011 as a brick and mortar general bookstore of the same name in downtown Carrollton, Georgia, which is now operated by out former store manager as The Underground Bookshop. Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women’s Initiative Mentorship Program. Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.…
