BAKER, DOROTHY Young Man with a Horn.
Cambridge. Houghton Mifflin Co. 1938. First Edition. First edition of Baker's first novel. The story of Rick Martin (based on Bix Beiderbecke), a jazz trumpeter who is a genius in the art of "swing," of his meteoric rise to fame, and of the burning conflict between body and spirit." Made into a splendid movie with Kirk Douglas. VG/VG in white woven cloth stamped in black. Slight spine slant. In a VG dustjacket which is chipped at the top and bottom of the spine and heavily edge-rubbed and soiled. Not a collector's copy, but certainly a place holder on your first books shelf until a pristine copy comes along.
