The Sailing Community Loves Dawn Powell

________________________________________________________________________________________________


Dawn Powell's last novel
was nominated for  nominated
for a National Book Award.
The Golden Spur  was published in 1962.


A taste of page 156
from the  Steerforth Edition
of The Golden Spur

Three owners of sailboats docked in Long Beach were given the same offer:
Buy this book...Read this book...If you do not like it, I will repay you double the cost.

Three owners of sailboats enjoyed this novel so much, each expressed their gratitude
by giving  me  double the cost of what they paid for  The Golden Spur!

Each sailor purchased the novel from the wonderfully operated
and independently owned  Apostrophe Books. 

The next Dawn Powell page is  here.
