Anchor a collection of American classics with this intentional find, which introduced the term "Babbittry" into the English language to describe the vacuous conformity of the middle class. The deep navy cloth provides a sharp, traditional contrast against the gold-stamped title, reflecting the understated elegance of early jazz age publishing. As a professional selection for a student of sociology or a unique gift for a collector of Nobel laureate works, this hardcover preserves the defiant, observant spirit of the 1920s.
