Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

New York: Atheneum, 1962.

Sold

Hardcover. First edition. Fine in near fine dustwrapper with a little rubbing and a very tiny nick at the crown. Albee’s first full-length play and best known work, a classic tour-de-force of modern theatre. Basis for Mike Nichols’s directorial film debut which featured Richard Burton and George Segal opposite Elizabeth Taylor and Sandy Dennis, who both won Oscars. A nice copy of a scarce title.
