Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 5.5"x8.5" 349 pp. First printing "1". Black cloth boards w/red metallic letters to spine. Matching red paste downs. No DJ. Spine straight, binding tight, pages clean and bright. Not x-library, unmarked. In twenty not-so-tall tales about rural politics in the South in rougher and toug…her days, Jesse Stuart reminds us afresh that there's nothing new about political skull-duggery. The fact that he puts such labels as the Little Party and the Big Party or the Greenoughs and the Dinwiddies on the candidates doesn't mean they aren't the same old Republicans and Democrats you know so well-the wonderful folks who put Watergate on your TV screen.
