Contact seller4-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. 1924 date to copyright page, but no date to title page, so this is a later printing -- possibly as late as the 1930s. First known appearance in a book by Thomas Clayton Wolfe (following the separate publication of his "Crisis in Industry") in the form of his play "The Return of Buck Gavin /… The Tragedy of a Mountain Outlaw." (Wolfe played the lead in the 1919 first stage production -- the glossy photo at the play's start here depicts a bearded Wolfe as the title character.) Features four other plays, seven other glossy photos and two woodcuts by J.J. Lankes and another by Mary De B. Graves. 173 pp. Reduced from $30. Illustrated with photographs of the original productions of the plays; also featuring woodcuts by J.J. Lankes and Mary De B. Graves (illustrator).
