For the Grape Season (From the Personal Library of Dust-Jacket Illustrator H. Lawrence Hoffman)

8vo., 246pp. Solid Stated First Printing. Bound in half black cloth over purple paper-covered boards with lettering in yellow on spine. Square and tight with a touch of rubbing to spine ends and tips. Page edges toned. A touch of off-setting to end-papers. Attractive unclipped dust-jacket, ($4.50), has a chip at the crown and some edge-wear. Sticker ghost on front flap with a small abrasion. . Still bright and quite presentable. Though not marked in any way, this came directly from the library of H. Lawrence Hoffman who illustrated the dust-jacket. His son, David Hoffman, the noted documentary filmmaker, has signed a statement with information about his father, the artist, and attesting that the book was from his library. A copy of this is included. A pretty collectable copy at a great price.
