Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good dj. Illustrated by (dj and decorations) Margaret Freeman (illustrator). First Edition. [a good some copy with some shelfwear to the bottom edge (slight exposure of boards at the lower tips), minor soiling to the page edges; the jacket is moderately edgeworn, with a few short closed tears and some creasing and light soiling, and some shallow paper loss at the top of the spine]. (cartoon illustrations) Humorous short stories in a racist vein, about "the real world of the colored folk." This sort of racial/ethnic fare was one of the two primary stocks-in-trade (the other being mystery/detective fiction) of this South Carolina-born white author, lauded in the dust jacket blurb as "without question the foremost writer of negro stories living today" -- or, even more cringeworthily, "refreshing stories [about] the trial, tribulations, problems and adventures of those human and amazing negroes -- among them the famous Florian Slappey and Epic Peters -- who are Mr. Cohen's unique creations and for which he is known wherever American magazines and books are read." (Think Amos 'n' Andy, in print.) A number of his stories were adapted as silent film comedies.

Boards show mild wear and rubbing, and chipping to head and tail of spine. The front free end paper has cracking at gutter from glue. Inscribed by Dunbar on the second free end paper, with a selection from his poem Philosophy. A second ownership inscription, dated 1903, appears below Dunbar's. CX Consignment. Shelved in Case 0. Dunbar is considered the first African-American poet to earn national distinction and acceptance, and one of the first African-American writers to establish an international reputation. He passed away of tuberculosis in 1906 at the age of 33, making any signed copies of his books, especially of his later works, incredibly scarce. This first printing of When Malindy Sings is signed by Dunbar, and includes an extensive inscription in Dunbar's hand, transcribing a selection from his poem Philosophy: "It's easy enough to titter w'en de stew is smokin' hot, But hit's mighty ha'd to giggle w'en dey's nuffin in de pot." Interestingly, he spells out "enough'" rather than using the published version '"nough" 1345988. Shelved Dupont Bookstore. Signed.
