About This Item
New York: Harper & Brothers, 1957. Hard Cover. Very Good+ binding/Very Good dust jacket. 12mo. x, [2] 52 pp. First American edition, first printing with correct printing code on the copyright page. Signed by Hughes on the title page. In publisher's cloth with dust jacket. Spine titling is a bit dulled, but a fresh binding; offsetting the endpapers and inner margin of the preliminaries from binding glue; dust jacket is a bit toned at the spine and extremities; minor white staining to the front panel at the fold; price intact on the front flap. Quite a nice copy of Hughes's first book.
