Description
Two Random House Novels, including: Franklin Gregory. The White Wolf. New York: Random House, [1941]. First printing. Octavo. 271 pages. Publisher's bright green cloth covers with the spine lettered in white. Illustrated dust jacket. Top edge stained black. Very minor rubbing to the covers and jacket, some very tiny closed tears to the jacket edges, cellophane tape applied to the inside of the head of the jacket spine, a few notations to the front jacket flap. Altogether a very good copy. In this novel Franklin Gregory delves into the classically frightful subject of the werewolf, and yet the contemporary peaceful setting of the Pennsylvania countryside lends an even more ominous and menacing air to the work. [and:] Herbert Best. The Twenty-Fifth Hour. New York: Random House, [1940]. First printing. Octavo. 321 pages. Publisher's red cloth covers with a small illustration stamped onto the front cover in gilt and black and the spine lettered in gilt and black. Illustrated dust jacket. Top edge stained black. Two small booksellers' tickets affixed to the front pastedown endpaper and rear pastedown endpaper. Very minor rubbing to the covers and jacket, sunned jacket spine, some tiny closed tears to the jacket edges, some toning to the endpapers. Altogether a very good copy. An eerily believable look into a future devastated by totalitarian wars and plagues, Herbert Best presents an uncanny novel focusing upon the intense relationship between the two final survivors, a man and woman, who strive to recreate civilization.Auction Info
