The John Day Company 1946 Book Club (BCE/BOMC) Hard Cover Fine Poor 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
For a period of years, in the interval of much other writing, the author has been at work on a massive novel. She has devoted more time and more intense creative thought and imaginative feeling to this book than to any other book she has ever written. In it she has been slowly distilling her most pungent memories of the Chinese life she shared for decades. This is that book; what is important are the people and the story, rather than the scene in which it takes place. DJ is frail, wear on all edges and chips or tears at the spine and folds to the inside. DJ seems to be too big for the book. The tan binding is fine, spine is tight. Book Club edition. 316 pages, yellowed on edges, otherwise fine.

| 2. | Buck, Pearl S. Pearl Buck's America
Bartholomew House 1971 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good No Jacket 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall Life Magazine
This was quite an endeavor that Pearl Buck took on - to see and write about every state. She says "This book is a personal communication between my country and me. I did not know my country until half my life had gone. Then with adult mind and willing heart, I came here to live. All was new, all was wonderful, nearly all was beautiful. We Americans have more than our share of the world's wonders. It would be impossible for me to write of all there is to see. I have only written of what I myself have seen and felt about my country." I hope you enjoy looking back and taking in Buck's perspective of the beauty in each state! 320 pages with a key to color photographs, most are black & white. The bottom corners are slightly bent in. The spine ends are turned in with light wear.
