Description
C-18350
c. 1940s-1950s; Simon & Schuster, Rinehart & Co., Little, Brown and Co. A trio of mid-century hardbound titles in coordinating red and orange cloth, each from notable American publishers of the postwar era. The set includes I Never Left Home by Bob Hope (Simon and Schuster, 1944), The Hucksters by Frederic Wakeman (Rinehart, 1946), and The Seventh Cross by Anna Seghers (Little, Brown and Co., 1942). Together, they capture a period when American literature and humor turned its gaze toward wartime experience, advertising culture, and the moral struggles of a changing world. Simon & Schuster, Rinehart & Co., and Little, Brown & Company were among the foremost U.S. publishing houses of the 20th century-known for advancing literary realism, political commentary, and popular entertainment alike.
Light shelf wear to cloth covers and mild corner rubbing consistent with age. Spines remain legible and bindings sound, with moderate toning and chipping to pages.
