Description
First English edition of Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin in the publisher’s dust jacket.
Octavo, 221pp. Brown cloth, title in white on spine. Stated “First published by Michael Joseph LTD… 1957” on copyright page. Solid text block, rubbed edges, faint transference to endpapers, a near fine example. In the publisher’s dust jacket, 15s retail price on front flap, light wear to spine, faint foxing to rear panel, some toning to verso. A nice copy of James Baldwin’s second published novel, tackling topics like internalized homophobia, bisexuality, and social isolation.
