RAWLINGS, Marjorie Kinnan (1896-1953). The Yearling. New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1938.

First edition, inscribed by Rawlings, first printing of the dust-jacket. The Yearling was first published in March 1938, and the first printing of the dust-jacket identifies it as “A Book-of-the-Month Club Selection”; it was released as such a month later. The first printing of the dust-jacket lacks blurbs found on the back of later jackets. A fine copy.

8vo. Original printed cloth (spine with a few stains); original printed dust-jacket (a few short tears, a few pale stains, otherwise fine). Provenance: Mrs. J.D. Blair (presentation inscription from Rawlings dated April 1938).
