What Way My Journey Lies
Duell, Sloan and Pearce, 1946. First Edition. Leather Binding. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Very Good / No Jacket. Item #L071735
Slight wear to extremities (chiefly to spine edges and corners); slight rubbing to covers (leather; chiefly to edges); slight internal browning to edges and endpapers (chiefly to edges). [6], 243 pages. Second and last published book of the noted screen and television writer (born Frank Edgington Fenton in England, 1903; died 1971 in Los Angeles), following the success of 'A Place in the Sun'; this novel continues more or less in the post-WWII mode of Steinbeck, John Fante, and others (with a California setting and youth searching their respective fortunes). Bound in full black calf, gilt-stamped and decorated spine and covers (with 'Frank Fenton' gilt-stamped in lower right corner of upper cover), spine with partly raised bands, gilt inner dentelles, decorative endpapers (pink/light blue/gray), all edges trimmed. In somewhat worn medium heavy stock slipcase (wear to foredges and extremities). Excellent example of a book bound for the author (but without any indication of the binder present).
