Go Tell It on the Mountain

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1953.

First edition. [x], 303, [1] pp. Publisher's brown cloth (one of two variants with no priority) stamped in gilt, blue topstain. Near Fine with light soiling to lower board edges, and light foxing to upper board and textblock edges and endpapers; cloth remarkably clean and crisp. In a Near Fine unclipped ($3.50) dust jacket with sunned spine panel, short scrape to front panel, and light foxing, toning, and edgewear.

A fantastic copy of James Baldwin's debut novel, which drew on his adolescent religious experiences. The book was well-received — The New York Times called it a "beautiful, furious first novel" — and was nominated for the 1954 National Book Award. Item #140949187
