[LEWIS, Sinclair (1885-1951) as:] GRAHAM, Tom. The Job. NY: 1917. [WITH:] LEWIS, Sinclair (1885-1951). Our Mr. Wrenn. New York: Harper & Brothers, 1914. Two first editions, scarce in dust jackets. The Job is Lewis's early work about Una Golden, who moves from Pennsylvania to New York to find gainful employment to help support her family – the dust jacket notes "For the woman who works; Her own existence, not told as a pink romance but as LIFE." The portrayal of Golden's struggles to succeed in the male-dominated workforce was considered an early call for equality in the workplace. ABPC records only one copy of this book in the dust jacket (Christie's East, Apr 12, 2000, lot 132, $900). Our Mr Wrenn is an advance copy of the first book published by Lewis under his real name; previous books appeared under the pseudonym "Tom Graham." Stamped “advance copy – not published” on title page. Together, two volumes, octavo. The Job: (Offsetting to endpapers from jacket.) Original cloth; printed dust jacket (a bit toned, small pale area above imprint on spine panel, perhaps from a label of some sort, some chipping at edges); custom box. Provenance: Pippen's Bookstore Baltimore (stamp to pastedown). Our Mr Wrenn: Original gilt-stamped cloth (a little rubbed); printed dust jacket (spine panel torn and repaired, additional repairs at folds and edges); custom box.
