Lewis, Sinclair Arrowsmith
New York Harcourt, Brace & Company 1925 First Edition Cloth
(1925). In Very Good condition. Bound in full blue cloth. Both the spine and the front panel are liberally stamped in orange. Octavo. 448pps. Stated First Trade Edition, January 1925 (following a 500 copy softcover, signed limited edition). No dustjacket. A previous owner's name is neatly penned on the front pastedown and the front free endpage has a small, superficial abrasion. Also, there is some tanning to the endpapers and the rear hinge is starting, though quite stable. Both the binding and the textblock are otherwise clean and the binding is sound. A nice copy of the first hardcover edition of this Pulitzer Prize winner.
"...The Pulitzer Prize winning 'Arrowsmith' (an award Lewis refused to accept) recounts the story of a doctor who is forced to give up his trade for reasons ranging from public ignorance to the publicity-mindedness of a great foundation, and becomes an isolated seeker of scientific truth..."

Lewis, Sinclair The Prodigal Parents : The Revolt of the Parents Against the Revolt of Youth
Garden City, New York Doubleday, Doran & Company 1938 First Edition
Very Good+ in a Very Good+ dustjacket. Bound in full red cloth. The spine is stamped in gilt; the front panel in blind. Octavo. 301pps. Stated First Edition. There is very mild rubbing to the spine-ends and the spine is slightly sunned. Also, there is a tidy gift inscription on the front pastedown. Otherwise clean, tight, square, and bright. All tips are sharp. The text is immaculate; no apparent reading wear. The price-clipped dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, has touches of rubbing along the folds, a couple of short closed tears, and shallow chipping at the extremities. Quite a nice copy, which presents itself well in its dustjacket.
"...Fredk. Wm. Cornplow, shrewd middle-class realist, gradually wakes to find that Sarah, his selfish college-graduate daughter, and his son Howard, still irregularly playing football for old Truxon, think of him as intellectually obsolete, as a convenience, as a walking bank account, to whom they need return neither affection nor thoughtfulness. He finds that his wife, Hazel, loves him as he loves her but that she is their ally. He discovers, through the presence in his children's lives of a young Communist and through the intrusion into his own life of a family of shiftless relatives and of a young girl far too good to love his son, that he has to look for the first time clearly into his own heart and mind. He has to make a decision about himself and the people he has loved all his life. That decision and his escape from eternal servitude make a novel that stands beside 'Main Street,' 'Babbitt,' and 'Dodsworth.'..."
