Washington, Anderson House, 1935. Signed by the author and additionally inscribed in the year of publication to actor Harold Gould. Together with two autograph notes signed from Anderson to Gould: in one Anderson agrees to sign Winterset and adds "I'm still grateful for your performance in a play which didn't turn out so well." (From December 1934 to January 1935, Gould had had a part in Anderson's play Valley Forge.) In the second letter, which transmits the signed copy, he thanks Gould for his appreciation -- "which is the best one gets in this world." The book is a little sunned; near fine in a very near fine dust jacket. The notes are folded; else fine. Winterset, based in part on the Sacco and Vanzetti murder trial, won the first ever New York Drama Critics Circle Award; it was adapted for film the following year. A very attractive copy and an excellent association copy. [#019093] $500
