In Defense of expédition Women H.L. Mencken signé 1922

Reprinted edition with Knopf copyrights of 1918 and 1922. This copy has been signed and inscribed to Menckens friend and valued associate and contributor Miriam de Mars : "Miriam de Mars, With my heart. H.L. Mencken" scrawled in his inimitable hand. A significant association between Mencken and one of his researchers for his book on the American Language. In this respect hes a little like Dr. Johnson and his lexical minions. This volume also has the bookplate of Miriam de Mars. VG- in black cloth stamped in dulled and flecked silver on the spine. With fraying to the corners and the top and bottom of the spine. An externally good copy but internally VG; hence, the VG- grading. Hinges are tight; paper is clean and white. The inscription is very bright and written in black fountain pen. A scarce association copy. Reprinted edition with Knopf copyrights of 1918 and 1922.
