2 titles: 1. One-Way Ticket. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1949. Original black cloth over yellow paper boards, lettered and decorated in gilt and in blind, top edge blue, dust jacket. Covers bright and fresh, jacket with a few tiny chips and light wear, but an excellent copy. 2. Hughes, Langston & Arna Bontemps, editors. The Book of Negro Folklore. New York: Dodd, Mead & Company, 1958. Original gray cloth, spine lettered in gilt on turquoise field, dust jacket. Light shelfwear, some chips from extremities and light soiling, a very good copy. First editions, both volumes are signed and inscribed by Hughes to Folkways Records/Asch Records head Moses Asch. The first title's inscription reads: "Especially for Moe Asch - and our record - Sincerely, Langston / New York, August 15, 1955." Hughes likely refers to The First Album of Jazz for Children, with Documentary Recordings from the Library of Folkways Records, for which he did the narration based upon the book of the same title. Hughes would go on to record at least two more albums for Folkways. The second title's inscription reads: "Especially for Moe, a leading force in the preservation of American folklore - the real not the synthetic - Sincerely, Langston / This first copy - November 14, 1958."
