Harper's Magazine Press, 1974. Signed first edition cloth bound hardcover with dust jacket of The Americanization of Dixie: The Southernization of America by John Egerton.
John Egerton has signed and inscribed the front free end paper.
"The South is rejoining the Union, and John Egerton is all for that. It is not the fact of reunion that concerns him, but the form of it, which he sees as an amalgamation of regions that perpetuates and spreads the banal and the venal while it melts the great and valuable diversity of American into a homogenized puree."
Good condition. Razor cut to the dust jacket back cover. The back cover cloth is scraped but not cut. Otherwise nice book with light shelf wear.
