BURKE, James Lee. TO THE BRIGHT AND SHINING SUN. Charles Scribner's Sons, NY, 1970.
Price: US$650.00 + shipping
Description: First Edition, First State of the highly esteemed author's second book, a thoroughly riveting tale centered around the black world of the coal mines and the enormous, remote beauty of the Cumberland mountains -- and its protagonist, a remarkable young man exerting all his efforts to free himself from a life of darkness, pessimism and violence. Very Near Fine but for a tight closed vertical tear of about one-and-a-half inches. That said, certainly a highly collectible copy of the esteemed author's very early book.
