LEWIS, Sinclair (1885?1951). Kingsblood Royal. New York: Random House, [1947]. 8vo. Original red buckram gilt; original card slipcase with printed spine label (light edgewear). LIMITED EDITION, number 768 of 1050 copies SIGNED BY SINCLAIR. An interesting early contribution to the Civil Rights movement which was ranked at the time by Ebony magazine as the most important novel of the year. ?The white establishment tended to view the novel as wildly implausible. Black people viewed it as profoundly perceptive? (New York Times 18 August 2002). Pastore 65.
