THE GINKGO TREE BURNS, Sheelagh [ ] [Hardcover]

Description

BURNS, Sheelagh. THE GINKGO TREE. NY: Rinehart & Company, [1957]. 8vo., black & orange cloth in dust jacket. First Edition, first printing with the publisher’s colophon of the copyright page. Signed by Burns on the front endpaper: Port au Prince 1958, Sheelagh Burns. Author’s only (and elusive) novel. A semi-autobiographical novel about a New York City career woman cashing it all in and moving to the Caribbean- which is pretty much what Burns did in her life. Very Good (some browning to endpapers); some edgewear & rubbing (bit of soil) d/j. A decent copy of a cheaply-produced, fragile and scarce novel. $250.00.
