Native Son - Richard Wright First Edition, First State Binding and Jacket 1940. Wright's thrilling, fierce indictment of systemic racism still sadly far too relevant in America today. Very Good book in the original scarce first state navy binding in a Good first state lightly soiled dust jacket, most significant loss to spine ends and head joints of dust jacket, other minor tears, chips, and creasing to extremities. Fore-edge of jacket has a few small holes but flaps still strongly attached.
