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.
