Price: US$180.00 + shipping
Condition: Very Good
Description: Reprint. VG+/G: DJ is complete but shows wear, mostly at edges, and staining. Book is tight and unread, with a bit of light spotting to edges of text block. The first volume of Dreiser's Trilogy of Desire, followed by "The Titan" (1914) and, much later, "The Stoic" (1947). Befitting its title, "The Financier" is a novel of politics and high finance. This reprint edition is surprisingly uncommon, especially with the illustrated jacket -- different from the text-only DJ adorning the Harper & Bros. edition. 780 pages.

Condition: Near Fine
Description: Early reprint edition. Neat owner name (dated in 1914), some foxing, mostly to the foredge, else near fine in very good or better dustwrapper with a modest stain on the front panel, some tiny tears, and age-toning, and with different jacket art from the publisher's original edition. The first volume in Dreiser's epic trilogy of big city American business and politics which follows the rise, fall, and rise again of the driven and unscrupulous broker Frank Algernon Cowperwood. A classic chronicle of American ambition for wealth, power, and social standing whose themes strongly anticipated Sinclair Lewis, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and William Faulkner. Even this reprint is very scarce in dustwrapper.
