Chan Osborne's Wife

Philadelphia: The Penn Publishing Company. Very Good+ in Very Good+ dj. (c.1938). First Edition. Hardcover. [nice-looking copy, only lightly worn but a bit musty-smelling, spine very slightly turned, a bit of age-toning to page edges, light foxing to endpapers, small tear at bottom of second half-title page from rough opening of pages, original owner's name/address on front pastedown; jacket shows minor wear at extremities, light spotting/soiling (mostly to rear panel), one-inch split and minor paper loss at bottom rear hinge]. "Another of [the author's] incomparably portrayed problems of young married life," about a "pretty, impoverished, somewhat common" young woman who sets her cap for the "wealthiest and most sought-after young bachelor" in town, and landed him. After their marriage, however, he figures out that she's "a shallow little schemer whose code of ethics, if any, fell far below his own." Half of the front jacket flap is a detachable bookmark that features a photo of the author and a list of her many books. .
