Free Man of Color - first US edition

by Barbara Hambly

First in the series of historical novels taking place in the 1830's New Orleans. Benjamin January is a free black man, doctor and musician. 

I met Barbara Hambly at a writers conference in Scottsdale, AZ in January 2000 and after hearing her speak, I became interested in reading this piece.

Book and jacket are almost fine, except for a tiny dent in the bottom from board.
