About this Item

Very good in near fine dust jacket. SIGNED and inscribed ?Every good wish Joseph E Hearn? by the author under her married name (Esther Warner Dendel) on the half-title page. No stated edition or numberline (1st printing). Dust jacket has a surprisingly small amount of soiling, now in a protective mylar sleeve. Book has mild shelfwear to the boards and minor toning to the pageblock; not bad for a 70 year-old book! Esther Sietmann Warner Dendel was an American author and craftswoman who published several books on craftsmanship and Liberian traditions. She was the cofounder of Denwar Ceramics and was awarded the Annual Author Award by the Irvine Library. She spent four years in the early 1940s in Liberia, studying the culture and crafts. She wrote this and a second memoir of those years, ?New Song in a Strange Land?, as well as several books on African craftsmanship, including ?African Fabric Crafts: Sources of African Design and Technique?. A rare book, especially signed. Where possible, all books come with dust jacket in a clear protective plastic sleeve, sealed in a ziplock bag, wrapped in bubble wrap, shipped in a box.
