HARDCOVER, FIRST EDITION; 302PP. ““Bread and Fire” is an exciting, a disturbing book. It is singularly free from bunk and bias. Steadily keeping his eyes on the material before him, Mr. Walker builds up to a climactic anti-climax so stunning as to be all but melodramatic, so inevitable as to be akin to destiny. Harris Burnham returns from the war eager to enter the steel business. He finds himself in Pittsburgh where The naked fury of molten steel poured into ladles from the open hearth had burned both my flesh and my imagination. Then came the great steel strike, and when every one, from the firemen to the “clean-ups,” walked out, exultant in the name of human freedom, I left as well, throwing my cap with two burns in the crown over the mill gate…. All in all, however, “Bread and Fire” is a fine piece of work and a promise of better work to come.” [NYTIMES BOOK REVIEW, MAY 15, 1927]. THE BOOK IS IN AS NF CONDITION AS A 1927 BOOK CAN BE AND IS IN A VG DJ WITH ONLY SLIGHT EDGE WEAR.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
