Garden City: Doubleday, 1951.
Price: $125.00
Hardcover. First edition. Very good in bowed black boards lightly rubbed but lacking its dustwrapper. This copy is Signed by Cheever at his contribution. A good year for short stories with contributions by William Faulkner ("A Name for the City"), Eudora Welty ("The Burning"), Truman Capote ("The House of Flowers"), Carson McCullers, Cheever, Evan S. Connell, Jr., John Hersey, Arthur Miller, Jean Stafford and others. Perhaps most notable for containing the first book appearance of the Frank Rooney story "Cyclists' Raid" the basis for the 1953 classic film *The Wild One,* directed by László Benedek and featuring Marlon Brando.
