Giants in the Earth: A Saga of the Prarie

New York: Harper and Brothers, 1927. Later printing. INSCRIBED by the author on the front endpaper: "To Bruce Gould / There is only one sin that life never will forgive us: our unwillingness not to tell truly about; the punishment for us is oblivion / Sincerely yours / O.E. Rölvaag."

Bruce Gould and his wife Beatrice Blackmar Gould were co-editors of the "Ladies Home Journal" from 1935 through 1962. It was under their leadership that the magazine became the top-selling women's magazine in the country for nearly 30 years, largely due to their efforts to modernize the journal and broaden its subject matter for the emancipated woman. The pair co-wrote the autobiography, "American Story: Memories and Reflections of Bruce Gould and Beatrice Blackmar Gould," published by Harper and Row in 1968.

Very Good lacking the dust jacket. Boards with light toning to the extremities and spine, and light fraying at the crown. Endpapers and page edges moderately foxed.
