About this Item

FIRST EDITION hardcover, bound in decorative green cloth, is in G+ condition, having slight fading to cloth edges; age-toned closed page edges show some small stains on vertical side; a Wartime edition, so pages are more inexpensive paper and prone to darkening slightly. Dust jacket, enclosed in protective mylar (mylar not pictured), is in POOR condition, having pieces of top and bottom spine missing; and apparently publisher clipped ALL CORNERS (as issued) so no price was ever visible; tears at bottom of back jacket, and top, with rubbing/scuffing to surface. BOOK IS SIGNED BY AUTHOR KANE in pale blue ink on reverse of first free endpaper, and also signed by "Sam" beneath, who writes "Both Mr. Kane and I hope you enjoy this." Illustrated with a section of b&w photographs of buildings by Ricau, Kellogg, Bernard, Koch, and others. History of Southern American plantation homes. "With humor, understanding and a fine sense of human values, he gives us a book of brilliant readability--as inviting as a cup of Creole coffee, as superbly blended as a Louisiana gumbo."--from DJ. History. United States. Southern states. Louisiana. DB. Seller Inventory # 2028
