Illustrated dust jacket is off white with black and red color themes. Protected by a mylar cover. FROM THE DUST JACKET: "In this negro classic Mr. Heyward builds up an atmosphere of horror by his skillful use of dramatic and forceful prose, It is not only a fine story; but it shows also Mr. Heyward's understanding of the primitive negro spirit as shadowed in the South of today." CONDITION: Mild rubbing on the cover. Binding is sound and boards are firmly attached. Leaves have beautifully and evenly toned, virtually free from foxing. Large print is quite dark and easy to read. Illustrations are intriguing. Unmarked. Tipped in vintage newspaper clipping has offset on the flytitle and its adjacent verso page. Dust jacked has mildly toned with soft discoloration spots. Lightly chipped at the corners. DJ is NOT price clipped. A very handsome copy. Full refund if not satisfied. Seller Inventory # 068805
