Product Description
Book Condition ? Fine: An unread copy that remains in almost perfect condition. Marks across the rear cover of dust jacket, light signs of shelf wear towards the jacket's spine, foxing across inside flaps, but in excellent condition overall, no major tears or tears, cover lettering and background bright and vibrant. Original purple binding with silver lettering along spine is in great shape, though bumps to its front-panel edge. Slight dust markings across top text block, but otherwise clean with crisp edges. Spots of foxing through endpapers, but book's pages throughout are tightly bound, clean and tidy. A first edition, first printing hardback complete with the scarce first state dust jacket, highly collectible as an early travel work by a major twentieth-century British writer. This vivid travel narrative records Vita Sackville-West's journey through the American Southwest, capturing the scale and strangeness of the Grand Canyon with lyrical precision and reflective insight. Blending observation, cultural commentary, and personal response, the book reveals her sensitivity to landscape and place, as well as her distinctive literary voice outside fiction. Both evocative and perceptive, it stands as an engaging example of early twentieth-century travel writing and a valuable addition to her wider body of work.
