For sale is a copy of From This Hill Look Down by Elliott Merrick as published by Stephen Daye Press in 1934 as a first edition. The original dust jacket is included and shows some all-around wear but is intact and overall looks very good. The book itself is in excellent condition. It does have the name of previous owner John S. Mayfield, a prominent bibliophile, written on the inside cover. Included is correspondence involving Mayfield in his attempts to track down Merrick, including a signed note from Merrick to Mayfield.
This book is drawn from his struggles living off the land in Vermont during the Great Depression. Drawings by Allen Congdon.
