The Cabala **EXTREMELY RARE FIRST MODERN LIBRARY EDITION WITH DUST JACKET IN FINE CONDITION!** **PART OF THE BOSTON BOOK CO. MODERN LIBRARY COLLECTION**

EXTREMELY RARE FIRST MODERN LIBRARY EDITION WITH DUST JACKET IN FINE CONDITION! **PART OF THE BOSTON BOOK CO. MODERN LIBRARY COLLECTION** The Cabala by Thornton Wilder. New York. First Modern Library Edition 1929 stated on copyright page. This is an EXTREMELY attractive copy of a rare Modern Library title. Bound in purple red cloth (spine #5) with Bernhard end papers. Very short-lived binding style, in use 1929 - Spring 1930. This gold-heavy design was planned before the 1929 crash, and was quickly deemed too expensive for Depression-era book publishing. The gold torchbearer was replaced with a blindstamped torchbearer, and in 1930, the gold tree was dropped. Interesting magazine/newspaper clipping from 1931 regarding the desk that was used for the "treaty of peace between the United States and Mexico" included. The book is FINE! Solid binding, bright gilt on cover and spine, bright matching red topstain. Contents are clean with no owner's signature or other writing in text. GORGEOUS AND APPEARS UNREAD! LOOKS LIKE IT CAME OFF THE NEW BOOKSTORE SHELF TODAY! The beautiful dust jacket is NEAR FINE+ with slightest of chipping otherwise EXTREMELY clean and bright! 95 cent price present and bright on inside flap. The back of the dust jacket mentions 159 titles matching a First Modern Library Edition. Now protected in an archival-quality dust jacket protector. EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND EARLY MODERN LIBRARY EDITION IN DUST JACKET ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION! I CANNOT STATE ENOUGH HOW RARE IT IS TO FIND THESE MODERN LIBARY FIRSTS IN THIS PRISTINE CONDITION. This book is part of the Modern Library collection from the Boston Book Company which comprised 1,917 modern library volumes and was used to create A Descriptive Bibliography of The Modern Library: 1917 - 1970 by George M. Andes in 1989.
