Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB condition book which is a classic 1938 novel by author CLYDE BRION DAVIS--the book is an unstated First Edition and a HARDCOVER with the ORIGINAL DUSTJACKET and is NOT a remainder copy and NOT price-clipped, with the original $2.50 price in the upper corner of the front inner flap.  This book is in SUPERB condition and the book itself has a tiny ding on the lower left edge of the front surface, slight browning on the binding edges of the boards and first / last pages and just slight shelfwear otherwise but NO other significant flaws; the dustjacket has a couple of small tears on the lower front spine end and lower left corner of the front cover, small tears and dings on the upper spine tip and a couple of small creases on the lower spine end, a tiny tear on the upper left tip of the back cover and upper right edge of the back cover, a tiny tear on the lower left edge of the back cover and just light shelfwear otherwise but NO other significant imperfections!    The book is titled The Great American Novel and it was written by CLYDE BRION DAVIS; it was published by Farrar & Rinehart in 1938 and is an unstated 1st Edition copy.

This is the saga of Homer Zigler, who wanted more than anything else to write "The Great American Novel"

Even when he was a boy in Buffalo, Homer Zigler wanted to do something wonderful with his life. Later he realized that the two great things he was to do were to marry Frances Harbach and write the great Amerrican novel.

Then there was the evening when he felt sure that Frances was not true to him, and the bitter flight from home, and the new job as a reporter in Cleveland.  All the while Home was keeping a journal of notes for the great book he was going to write.

A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!
