Charles Norden aka Lawrence Durrell. PANIC SPRING. Covici Friede, NY, 1937.
Price: US$1250.00 + shipping
Description: First printing of the American edition of Lawrence Durell's second book, written under the pseudonym of "Charles Norden". Near fine condition with a very good dustjacket. The interior of the book has some slight age toning to endpapers and the light tan cloth shows a few smudges of dirt but the book is otherwise flawless. The jacket has mild shelfwear to include tiny 1/8-inch chips along the lower edge of the front panel and the loss of the top 1/4-inch of the jacket's spine. The canary yellow back panel shows a modest amount of general dirt picked up from normal usage over the decades. An uncommon Durrell work, difficult to find in any semi-decent dustjacket.

About Fine jacket (archivally mended short closed tears to back spine and flap folds), crisp and bright. Potter & Whiting 14. Originally published the same year, by Faber & Faber in London; the publisher suggested the pseudonym, because Durrell's conventionally autobiographical first novel, Pied Piper of Lovers, had been a failure.

All orders are packaged with care and posted promptly. Satisfaction guaranteed.
