About this Item

Hardcover first edition - First edition. Told in a dialect so free-flowing, it almost becomes a song, this is the story of a black conscript in Europe in the first World War, digging trenches, building bridges, unloading ships, but not afraid of war because he has known fighting and trouble all his life. In addition to writing three novels, Odum was a noted sociologist at the University of North Carolina, where one of his focuses was black southern folklore. Striking yellow, blue and white art deco endpapers and wraparound dust jacket art. 309 pp. Very good in very good dust jacket. (some fading to the edges of the blue cloth, and a bit of rubbing and edgewear to the dj, but still a tight, clean and very attractive copy of an uncommon book.). Seller Inventory # 49652

Store Description

Bookfever.com - the name used by Volk and Iiams, Booksellers- specializes in first editions of twentieth century literature, with an emphasis on women authors, African American, Native American and Latin American authors - plus mystery & detective fiction, science fiction & fantasy, poetry and children's & illustrated books. We try to offer many uncommon books, and have a large selection of first books, and books by authors who are less frequently collected. Of the approximately 60,000 volumes in stock, the majority are hardcover first editions, although we also stock vintage science fiction paperbacks as well as sf digests and pulps. We also have a large selection of books signed by the author and uncorrected proof copies. Only about 50% of our stock is catalogued, so please inquire if you are searching for specific titles. We have been selling books by mail order and on the internet since 1993. We have a large booth dedicated to books (called Books Upstairs) at the Antiques Upstairs Mall, 5 Main Street, Jackson, CA. (open every day from 10-5) The emphasis there is on Western Americana, children�s books and inexpensive reading copies. In 1998 we relocated our main business from Sacramento to the Sierra foothills of Amador County, about 35 miles east of downtown Sacramento and between Ione & Sutter Creek. There, on 10 acres of rolling oak-covered hills, we built a "bookhouse" for our books.
