Mild spine roll; neat gift inscription on the front free endpaper. In a dust jacket, with moderate rubbing and creasing to the edges.

With the typo "rer" for "her" on p. 59. From the dust jacket- "These stories reveal in Mr. Wolfe qualities as a writer unsuspected by the thousands who have read his longer works. They show what perfection he can achieve within a restricted compass- especially noticeable in some of the five and six page stories here included, which for economy and precision of style are unsurpassed.
