Vixens, The

By: Yerby, Frank

Price: $75.00

Publisher: New York, Dial: 1947

Seller ID: 002138

Binding: Cloth

Condition: Near Fine

I bought this book because I liked its Beautiful dustjacket by Lynd Ward. The book itself is in near fine condition but for moderate toning to the textblock from age. Otherwise the book is square and unsoiled. There is a previous owner's name and address written on the front pastedown which is mostly covered by the dustjacket's inner front flap.

The plot involves the post Civil War period and in parti...

This wonderful piece of modern literature was an overnight international bestseller when it was published in 1998.

Just a few years earlier, Jews living in Portugal were dragged to the baptismal font and forced to convert to Christianity. Many of these "new Christians...
