Savage Gentleman

The book is in fair condition, showing signs of wear consistent with its age. The spine and corners are bumped and slightly frayed. There is no dust jacket. Inside, the book contains inscriptions and a library stamp, indicating its previous use in a school setting. The binding remains intact, though the overall appearance reflects its vintage status.

"Savage Gentleman" by Noel B. Gerson is a special edition published in 1950 exclusively for the Sears Readers Club. This edition was printed in Chicago, Illinois, and presents a unique offering for collectors of mid-20th-century literature. Originally published by Doubleday & Company, this version is part of a limited run for club members, making it a distinctive find for collectors. The book delves into historical fiction, a genre where Gerson is well-regarded for his meticulous research and engaging storytelling. This copy, however, shows signs of its past life as an ex-library book, with inscriptions and stamps from Woodrow Wilson High School, Beckley, West Virginia. The absence of a dust jacket and visible wear marks its journey through time, yet it remains a solid piece for those interested in historical narratives and special edition collections.
