Collecting tips:
Carver's two most expensive books are his rare first book Near Klamath (1968), a pamphlet collection of poems published by the English Club of the college where he was then teaching, Sacramento State College; and his first commercially published book, a collection of short stories Will You Please Be Quiet, Please (1976), which is difficult to find in fine condition.Email us to request a printed copy of our catalog of Raymond Carver Rare Books and First Editions (or download it via the link as a 1.36 MB pdf file).
