About This Item
Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott, 1961. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. First edition of the author's first book, a collection of stories. This is the uncommon hardcover edition in dustwrapper. Report to have only been produced in a print run of a few hundred copies (the rest were produced as a trade paperback original). A near fine copy in a very good price intact dustwrapper. No fading to spine. However the rear panel has an unfortunate half of a half dollar size stain to rear panel. Still, a nice copy of a difficult to uncover and important first book.
