  • WANTED: A Husband. by Adams, Samuel Hopkins (1871-1958)
    Adams, Samuel Hopkins (1871-1958)
    WANTED: A Husband.

    Edition: First edition.

    Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1920. dj. Hardcover first edition - A rather lightweight romantic novel, but one in which the most essential part of Darcy's transformation is based on going through a tough physical training regimen. First publication of this novel, which was based on the short story "Enter Darcy" which in turn was made into a silent film in 1919 starring Billie Burke. A facsimile of a letter from Burke is reproduced on the back cover of the dust jacket.

    LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND.

    Edition: First printing.

    New York: Ecco Press, (2020) dj. Hardcover first edition - The author's disturbing third novel - the title ostensibly refers to a comment in an airbnb rental on Long Island, but of course it also refers to facing a post-apocalyptic world - with some insights into racial attitudes, class and family life thrown in along the way.
