FAULKNER, William
Doctor Martino and Other Stories
First edition. Contemporary owner name ("Polly Jordan 1938"), spine quite faded, a very good copy in a handsome, very good plus dustwrapper that is a little tanned on the spine and has a few tiny nicks and tears. A better than usual example of the fragile Arthur Hawkins-designed jacket. Housed in a chemise and quarter leather slipcase. Signed by Faulkner on the title page: "William Faulkner Oxford, Miss 30 Nov 1941." The author's second collection of stories, preceded by These 13. Faulkner was notoriously averse to signing trade editions (providing his biographers with several amusing anecdotes) and they are genuine rarities in the trade. Provenance of this copy available on request.
