Price: US$17.50 + shipping

Condition: As New

Description: Original Clear Mylar Dust Jacket: As New. The Color of the Air I (1927) - XIII (1936). Limited Cloth Trade Edition, 1986. "John Sanford or John B. Sanford, born Julian Lawrence Shapiro (1904-2003), was an American screenwriter and author who wrote 24 books (half after the age of 80). The Cambridge Companion to Jewish American Literature describes him as, 'Perhaps the most outstanding neglected novelist'. A one-time member of the Communist Party, after he and his wife Marguerite Roberts refused to name name when called before the House on Un-American Activities Committee, they were blacklisted and unable to work in Hollywood for nearly a decade. The second volume of Sanford's autobiographical trilogy follows the distinctive pattern set by the first volume, 'The Color of the Air', using brief, intense vignettes from American history to create an intellectual context for personal recollections (ex. John Dos Passos). Though such blends are a well-established literary device, Sanford extends and refines the technique beyond chronology." Pristine, no wear. Clean, tight and strong binding with no underlining, highlighting or marginalia. Black quarter-cloth with decorative paper-covered boards. Size: 8vo
