NY, Harcourt Brace, (1934). O'Hara's famous first book, realistically detailing the three-day disintegration of Julian English in O'Hara's invented city of Gibbsville, PA. Errata slip. Fine in a fine, first issue dust jacket. The nicest copy that we have seen, and probably the nicest copy there is. Although O'Hara's literary reputation has slipped over time, Appointment in Samarra nonetheless was named to the Modern Library list of the best 100 novels of the 20th century. An important debut, and a stunning copy.   [#911104] $30,000
