West, Nathanael. New York: Farrar, Straus & Cudahy, 1957. First printing. Fine/Near fine.
All four novels published by West prior to his untimely death in an auto accident. Both Day of the Locust and Miss Lonelyhearts remain as searing as ever. The book is fine, clean, tight and square while the jacket shows minor wear to the spine ends, with one chip to the base. The chip is small and insignificant, mirroring the self-images of many of West's Hollywood characters. (Note that we also have a beautiful, unread first paperback edition of Locust.)
