gilt lettering and rules to spine and front board. From the American Writers Series, edited by Harry Hayden Clark. Includes frontispiece portrait of Prescott, captioned: “Pen drawing by Kerr Eby, after a mezzotint by John Sartain.” Book is very good minus: sound binding, clean text, and generally solid copy with moderate rubbing and handling wear to cloth, light fading to spine, and a few pale surface marks to boards. No dust jacket. Of special interest, the front blank endpaper bears the ownership signature of Yvor Winters. This is described as an ownership signature / association copy, not as an author-signed copy. Pages lightly toned with age, but overall clean and presentable. A solid mid-century academic/literary edition with literary association to the poet, critic, and Stanford professor Yvor Winters.
