Johnson, Clifton; Withers, Carl What They Say in New England and Other American Folklore
New York Columbia University Press, 1963 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
Includes the classic regional collection of folk sayings, superstitions, children's rhymes, and othre pastimes, songs, legends, and folktales originally collected in "What They Say in New England" as well as other lore Johnson collected in travels to the South, the Mississippi Valley, the Rockies, Great Lakes, and the West. Red cloth boards are clean with minimal wear, binding is tight and square, text is free of markings of any kind. Price-clipped DJ is protected by a mylar cover and shows very light wrinkling at the spine ends. Main flaw of this otherwise very nice copy is that the person who attached the mylar cover taped it directly to the boards, so there will probably be tape residue if the cover is removed.
