Above and Below

New York: Henry Holt and Company. Very Good+ in Very Good+ dj. [1930]. First American Edition. Hardcover. NOISBN . [good solid clean book, light shelfwear to bottom edge, vintage price sticker (from San Francisco department store The White House) on rear pastedown; jacket lightly worn along top edge, spine a teensy bit darkened]. "The time encompassed in the action [of this novel] is only a few hours in the lives of several Londoners, but by looking into the minds of the characters much of their past lives and significance is reconstructions. [This is] a novel of mental and spiritual relations and conflicts, rather than of physical action, although the reader is brought up with a start by the final climactic drama. The author has remarkable human insight and the characters are handled so competently that there has been much speculation regarding the sex of R.D. Dorthy." (Um, excuse me?) ["Printed in Great Britain."] .
