THE NEW YORK TIMES, May 8, 1928

* Thornton Wilder wins Pulitzer Prize award
* American playwright and novelist - writer
* "The Bridge of San Luis Rey" book


The top of page 4 has a one column heading: "WILDER NOVEL WINS PULITZER AWARD" with subheads and photo. First report coverage on the Pulitzer Prize awards giving out for the year of 1927.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 56 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. A few small binding slits along the spine, nice condition.
