8vo. Cloth. 326 pp. Signed and inscribed by the author on the front free endpage "July 15, 1948 / To Miss Potter, With real admiration for a fine worker and a finer writer. / James A. Michener." Dustjacket with $3.00 price lower right inner front flap, jacket in good minus condition, with chips and wrinkles at edges and along spine, typical browning to the cheap paper found in virtually every copy, half-title a little chipped at lower corner and glued along left edge to the rear of the front endpaper. These faults notwithstanding, a good signed copy of Michener's first book and winner of the Pulitzer Prize.
