Seller: Code X Books, Potomac, MD, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: As New. Marquand is best known for his Mr. Moto spy stories, but he achieved popular success and critical respect for his satirical novels, winning a Pulitzer Prize for The Late George Apley in 1938. Like Apley, Wickford Point follows one of his abiding themes: was the confining nature of life in America's upper class and among those who aspired to join it. Marquand treated those whose lives were bound by these unwritten codes with a characteristic mix of respect and satire. Trade edition; no stated publishing history so presumed first edition, first printing thus. This is a used book. Pages are clean and bright with no markings, notes, or highlighting. Covers show only minor shelf wear and are not creased. No owner's marks or bookplates, not ex-library. Binding is tight and square. Corners not bumped. An excellent reading copy.
