About This Item
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1976. First edition. A fine copy in a nearly fine dust jacket with a tiny nick to the lower front panel. (22947). Octavo, cloth backed boards. Good collection of stories from late 1960s-early 1970s. Content differs quite a bit from that of the 1973 British collection of the same title, many consider this a better body of work.
