About this Item
Marked proof. 12mo. 314pp. Plain wrappers with paper cover label. Spine cocked, light general soiling and wear, very good. "Kindly Return This Marked Proof" and a date (October 6, 1954), stamped on the half-title. Over 40 corrections have been recommended in the text in several colors of ink: pink (the table of contents and prior), blue fountain pen (mostly typographical errors and justification issues), and several in black ink. In at least four cases, the annotations in black request alterations to the text. Admittedly, none of the changes are major rewritesâ "usually a rearrangement of wordsâ "but it raises the likelihood that these were done in the author's hand. *Variable Winds at Jalma* was published in the United States in 1954 by Little, Brown, and in London the following year. De la Roche (1879-1961) would have been 75 at the time. *Variable Winds at Jalna* is book 15 of de la Roche's popular, 16-volume, *The Whiteoak Chronicles.*. Seller Inventory # 446063
