Condition: As New

Description: Bound in full leather. Stamped with 22kt gold gilt design on cover front, back and spine. All edges gold. Silk moire fabric end papers. Satin ribbon place holder. Fine binding and cover. Minor shelf wear. Clean, unmarked pages. For more than 30 years, the Franklin Library has been the standard for finely bound, profusely gilt classic leather bindings. Sinclair Lewis was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1930. "The first of Sinclair Lewis's great successes, Main Street shattered the sentimental American myth of happy small-town life with its satire of narrow-minded provincialism. Reflecting his own unhappy childhood in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, Lewis's sixth novel attacked the conformity and dullness he saw in midwestern village life. Young college graduate Carol Milford moves from the city to tiny Gopher Prairie after marrying the local doctor, and tries to bring culture to the small town. But her efforts to reform the prairie village are met by a wall of gossip, greed, conventionality, pitifully unambitious cultural endeavors, and worst of all, the pettiness and bigotry of small-town minds." - Penguin Random House Books
