Price: US$36.00 + shipping

Condition: Near Fine

Description: This is the first edition hardcover published by Ward Ritchie Press in 1975, with LCCN 75-18095 on its copyright page. It is inscribed and signed by the author on its front end paper, "for [name] Howard Fast". This book is in near fine condition, marred only by light bumps on its spine ends, and some light wear on its covers' bottom edges. Its binding is sound and square, with no spine crease. Covers are unmarked and otherwise unworn, with bright gilt titles on its spine. Pages are unworn and otherwise unmarked. Its dust jacket, now protected by a removable mylar cover, is in very good condition: whole, bright, and unmarked, with a 1/2" closed tear in its front bottom edge, and traces of wear on the ends of its spine and flap folds, but otherwise unworn. I will ship this book in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure it reaches its new owner in the same condition as my description.

"While he was at Mill Point Federal Prison, Fast began writing his most famous work, Spartacus, a novel about an uprising among Roman slaves. Blacklisted by major publishing houses following his release from prison, Fast was forced to publish the novel himself. It was a success, going through seven printings in the first four months of publication. (According to Fast in his memoir, 50,000 copies were printed, of which 48,000 were sold. ) He subsequently established the Blue Heron Press, which allowed him to continue publishing under his own name throughout the period of his blacklisting. Just as the production of the film version of Spartacus (released in 1960) is considered a milestone in the breaking of the Hollywood blacklist, the reissue of Fast's novel by Crown Publishers in 1958 effectively ended his own blacklisting within the American publishing industry.
