A very scarce copy of Sinclair Lewis' pseudonymous debut, a juvenile novel about the adventures of a 16 year old hero fighting a villainous captain. Published in a single, small print run of 1,000 copies, and like many authors, Lewis' embarrassment over his early effort caused him not to allow Hike to be reprinted until 1979. Lewis' bibliographer notes that after a recent census was taken, just 35 copies were extant, and two others known in dust jacket. Octavo (19.5cm. Gray pictorial cloth with a boy dangling from an aeroplane. 275 pages with a frontispiece and internal illustrations on coated paper by Arthur Hutchins. Spine is worn and lettering barely visible. Soiled cover with rubbing to the extremities and cover decorations. Binding is loose but attached with netting exposed in front and rear. The frontispiece and tissue guard are in place and is the third of three illustrations, but the other illustrations are missing. Previous owner's name on front free endpaper. Book is now protected in a plastic acetate dust jacket.…

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.
