Full-Leather. Condition: Fine. Chet Jezierski (illustrator). A Limited First Edition, "privately printed exclusively for Members of The First Edition Society". A FINE, like-new, bright, clean, tight, collector-worthy copy sans flaws. A high-quality Franklin Library publication with full-leather boards, 3 raised-ribs on spine, a built-in silk ribbon page marker, silk endpapers, and gold gilt page edges on all sides. From a section of the authors' "special message to the members of The First Edition Society" foreword page (followed by their facsimile signatures); ""We have recently been telling the women we have worked with these past years that a book about people like them is coming out, and we have been surprised at the reactions - more interest, curiosity, and satisfaction than we had anticipated. Once again, we have learned that it is risky to attribute one's own worries or anxieties to others, who have their particular sense of things. Whereas we hoped that the relatively poor, hard pressed women we were describing would not resent being "written up,"turned into "cases," the various women had no such apprehensions or critique. " Book enhanced in/by the full-page, black-and-white drawings of Chet Jezierski. 297 pages. GF12.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. Chet Jezierski (illustrator). 1st Edition. This offering is a Deluxe, Limited Edition Franklin Library publication of Women of Crisis, Lives of Struggle and Hope written by Robert Coles and Jane Hallowell Coles and illustrated by Chet Jezierski. It's deluxe in that it has the "built in" bookmark, gold-gilded page edges, satin-like end pages, and leather-bound boards with a ribbed spine and gold-gilded lettering decorating both the front and back boards and forming the print on the spine. It IS a book in Franklin Mint's The First Edition Society which means that it has also been signed (perhaps laser-printed) and includes a laid-in eight page "Notes from the Editors" pamphlet describing the work. The book was published by The Franklin Library in 1978 and is a stated "limited first edition published by special arrangement with" Delacorte Press/Seymour Lawrence. Usually the books in this series by Franklin Library were published a bit before the trade editions so, in reality, the books in The First Edition Society are the true firsts. This copy is in fine condition and has not been read. To my knowledge, the only time it's been opened has been when I opened it to glean the information that I've included in this blurb. What an absolutely beautiful gift . . . for yourself or a loved one! Thank you for looking!. Signed by Author(s).
