FIRST EDITION, PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED BY SINCLAIR: "To Betty with love Upton Sinclair." This issue published for private distribution by Sinclair is similar to the first trade edition published by Viking, but without the Viking logo on the front cover or spine, and with a different title page imprint. Sinclair's novel, which describes the Nazi takeover of Germany in the 1930s, won him the Pulitzer Prize for the Novel.
