From Superman to Man

n.d. J. A. Rogers, (c. 1917). 1st ed. Hardcover. 128p. Original reddish brown cloth. 19 cm. Cover soiling and wear. Also appears to be spotted but it is really extensive loss of cover color. Former owner's name stamp (F. H. Carmand). Bookseller's stamp (Youngs Book Exchange and Novelties N.Y.) on title-page and last text leaf. No jacket. Fiction -- consists largely of dialogues on race between an erudite Pullman Porter and some of his white passengers. Rogers went on to make a lasting name for himself as a tireless, if sometimes perhaps too believing, chronicler of African and African American achievement in such popular self-published books as "World's Great Men of Color" and "Sex and Race." We don't remember having any copies of the rather poorly produced first edition in our first four decades of bookselling but have had a few copies in recent years. Good. Item #87482
