Description: La Farge, Oliver - Laughing Boy - Houghton Mifflin: Boston, 1929 - First Edition / First Printing / First State Dust Jacket - Matching dates present on the title and copyright pages as required in order to denote the first printing of the first edition. First state dust jacket with four paragraphs on the front flap. Why should he worry himself about this woman? And why should he worry about anything else as long as he had this woman? The book has light soiling, sunning to the spine, and a bump to the front fore edge. The boards are mostly straight, the lettering on the front and spine is dark and legible, binding is square and firm, and internally this copy is very clean. The dust jacket is sunned, soiled, has tape mends to the verso along the front gutter, a few shallow chips, and general wear. All that being said it still presents well behind new archival mylar and is the scarce true first issue. An early winner of the Pulitzer Prize. The story of a pair of Navajo who fall in love and run away together. Basis for the 1934 film adaptation of the same title which starred Lupe Velez as Slim Girl and Ramon Novarro as Laughing Boy. All books are offered with a full 30 day postage paid return policy. All books which are in dust jackets will be mailed with a clear archival dust jacket protector fitted.
