Southways. New Stories by Erskine Caldwell

New York: Viking Press, 1938. First Edition. Octavo (19.5cm). Blue cloth boards, lettered in red and blue on spine and front cover; dustjacket; blue top-stain; 206pp. Slight discoloration to cloth on spine, else a fine, tight copy, with top-stain deep and even. In an especially crisp example of the dustwrapper, unclipped and with just a hint of toning at the spine panel, very Near Fine. Caldwell's fourth collection of stories, continuing his preoccupation with the Southern underclass milieu established in Tobacco Road and God's Little Acre. A lovely copy, uncommon thus.
