Description: Hardcover first edition - First trade edition (issued after a signed limited edition) of Cather's only Pulitzer prize winning novel, the story of a Nebraska farm boy who goes off to war in France. One of only 12,000 copies (Crane pp 91-92.)

Condition: Very Good
Description: From the signed, limited, numbered first printing, this is number 266, signed by the author at the limitation page opposite the full title. The pages are bright saving some toning around the deckled edges and quite clean except for a very few scattered spots of foxing; no owners' marks; the quarter cloth binding leans gently to the right but remains tight; the paper boards and paper title plate at the spine show some chipping around the edges, with a pressure mark at the bottom right front corner, a small inward turn and surface scuff at the top left rear corner, and some surface creasing at the corners and right edge of the title plate; some fading is also evident along the head edges of the paper and along the right rear, and the title plate is age-toned; nonetheless, a remarkably clean and attractive book, well-preserved. 459pp.; an extra copy of the title plate is tipped in at the final endpaper.

Description: First edition. One of 310 numbered copies (of 345 total), this being number 81, printed on Perusia handmade Italian paper and signed by the author. 35 copies were printed on Japan vellum. Pp. [10], 459. Title printed in black and orange. Half linen over batik boards, paper spine label. Printed boards a bit faded at top edge, 3 corners just showing, very slight remnants from removed bookplate on inner cover, spine very slightly darkened. Spine label perfect. A fine and tight copy, uncut throughout. Cather's Pulitzer Prize winning novel. One of Ours is a portrait of a peculiarly American personality: it is the story of a young man born after the American frontier has vanished, yet whose quintessentially American restlessness seeks redemption on a frontier far bloodier and more distant than that which his forefathers had already tamed.

CATHER, Willa. One of Ours [SIGNED AND DATED]. Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 1922.
Price: US$4000.00 + shipping
Description: First Trade Edition. Original tan cloth. Seldom encountered signed and dated first trade edition of Cather's Pulitzer Prize winning novel. Inscription at front endpaper reads simply, "Willa Cather / November 17 / 1925". Cather was giving a lecture at the University of Chicago on this date and presumably this copy was signed at the event for Louis A. Kohn, a prominent Chicago lawyer and associate of Adlai E. Stevenson, whose ownership signature accompanies Cather's at endpaper, his bookplate also resides at front pastedown. The lecture was given at Mandel Hall to a capacity audience. Cather did not feel the speech went well and blamed it upon the ugliness of the lecture hall. She wrote a letter to a friend that the place made her feel wretched and caused her to stutter. This copy married to a contemporary dustjacket with '4th Large Printing' plug at spine. Very Good firmly bound volume, some soiling to spine, spine end cloth rubbed, endpapers display soiling.
