Hardcover. NY, Brentano's, 1st, 1924, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, Black cloth covers with faded gilt title. 126 pages with frontispiece illustration in 2-colors by Robert Locher. Introduction by Carl Van Vechten. Firbank's first book published in the United States, a novel of West Indian life and manners. It was the first of his works that wasn't entirely self-financed, and despite the miniscule print run, the book was given a lavish treatment by Brentano's, published with a generous introduction by Carl Van Vechten, who was intent on making Firbank's work better known in America. Understandably, the inflammatory title roused an outcry in the African American press, though Nancy Cunard wrote a defense of Firbank and his use of the name in the Associated Negro Press, and the novel received a surprisingly positive review by W.E.B. Du Bois. Light shelf wear.

Hardcover. Carbondale IL, Southern Illinois University Press, reprint, 1974, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 479 pages. Predestined, Whitman's first and most successful novel, is a remarkably con-trolled, inexorably plotted story of Felix Piers, born to wealth and misfortune, who was predestined to a life of failure.
