HER BEST WORK INSCRIBED (LITERATURE AND POETRY.) HURSTON, ZORA NEALE. Their Eyes Were Watching God. 286 pages. 8vo, original decorative orange cloth; spine extremities rubbed with slight loss of cloth; Inscribed 'To Mollie Lewis." Philadelphia: Lippincott, [1937]
inscribed 'for mollie lewis, a throne ornament from the right side in heaven, zora neale hurston, Jan 9, 1938." Lewis was Mollie Moon's maiden name. Hurston's inscription is a bit arcane, as is normal with Zora's inscriptions. Loosely laid in are the fragments of the dust jacket, as well as a long review in the New York Times, by John Chamberlain. A very nice association copy. Mollie and Henry Lee Moon were activists, and prominent in the NAACP. Henry Lee was in charge of public relations for the NAACP.
