THE SURE HAND OF GOD & THIS VERY EARTH by Erskine Caldwell Signet Books, 1st paperback printings, 1949 & 1951 Condition: Good & Good+ Caldwell is best known for TOBACCO ROAD and GOD'S LITTLE ACRE. Here are two more of his "poor southerner"-themed novels, both with great Avati covers. HAND has spine splits, a large corner crease, some other moderate exterior wear & the front cover doesn't lie flat; the interior has a few light corner creases and moderate page toning. EARTH has some spine edge wear and small spine end chips, lesser corner/edge wear, light reading creases and, due to regluing at the spine, there is slight unevenness of the lightly toned pages about 2/3 of the way through. But bindings are secure on both books, which are complete amd unabridged.
