Erskine Caldwell. God's Little Acre. New York: The Viking Press, 1933. A rare and wonderful presentation copy inscribed, signed and dated by the author on the books half-title page. FIRST EDITION/ FIRST ISSUE in the original $2.50 dust jacket and with the same dates on the title and copyright pages with no other printings listed.
