==========================================

This book as a work of art is fine, true, complete, and understanding. As a piece of life it is yet finer, revealing to ourselves not only Babbitt but also - some one much nearer home "There but for the grace of God goes---" And so when the book is closed we are wiser not only about Babbitt and his companions but about ourselves and our own hypocrisies. But not only is Babbitt warning, he is also a friend. And, through him, the country of which he is citizen (America). London: Jonathan Cape , 1935. Although Babbitt was first published in USA in 1922, this is a British publication in 1935 by Jonathan Cape. The book is in Very Good condition considering its age, bound in grey cloth. The binding is secure. Text is bright and clean throughout. The book measures 5 by 7 1/4 inches and includes 320 pages. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. The novel's scathing indictment of middle-class American values made Babbittry a synonym for adherence to a conformist, materialistic, anti-intellectual way of life. Home Town of Sinclair Lewis. This book is dedicated to Edith Wharton.
