Condition: Fine

Description: Large 8vo. 1st edition/2nd issue. Illustrated paper boards with paper title label to green cloth spine. Very slight rubbing to tail of boards. In beige typographic paper dust jacket, a tad faded to spine. *** A Man Without Shoes was rejected by many publishers for being 'too left'. 'In 1946, for most reputable imprints, left was quite the wrong direction,' John Sanford writes in the introduction. In 1951 Sanford published it himself with the help of master printer Saul Marks. 'When the work was completed, I thoughtlessly directed that the entire edition be delivered to my home. It was as if a cord of wood had been stacked in the hallway, and after a while, sales having hardly diminished it, it began to overwhelm me, and I had it moved into storage. There is has remained since the time of publication, so in a sense the book was buried after all. Until now -.' *** The marvelous Black Sparrow Press reissued the book with a new title page and a new five page introduction by Sanford; the original publisher information on the jacket was crossed out and Black Sparrow Press added. Limited to 2000 copies; our copy is for unknown reason unsigned and unnumbered.

Condition: Very Good

Description: 452 numbered pp + 1; HB. A registered and limited edition, this is No. 345 of 2,000. Signed by Sanford on the registration page. Pages: clean, bright, tight, b.e./f.e. deckled; front hinge starting, several pp scuffed, w/ and extra page tipped in before ffep to mask one such scuff. This book had a rough publication history - Sanford was a Communist at a time when that was most unpopular. From the NY Times: "When 'A Man Without Shoes' was finished in 1947, it was like a beached whale, stranded high and dry and scarcely able to breathe. The cold war and Congressional investigations were already making all radical politics suspect, even when couched in the language of fervent Americanism. . . . the book was submitted to some thirty publishers, and thirty-some times it was declined. Finally, in 1951, Sanford had the novel printed privately in Los Angeles by Saul Marks's Plantin Press." That Plantin Press book received a new title page an introduction, and was Published by Black Sparrow. There is a slight variation between the original leaves and the new added fore-material.
