Hardcover. First edition. Spine lettering a bit faded but readable, else a very good or better copy lacking the dust jacket. Malcolm Cowley's copy, Signed by him on the front flyleaf, and with a number of his pencil notes on the rear flyleaf. A nice copy of Aiken's first short story collection. Curiously the publisher used the same binding design as they did on Ernest Hemingway's *In Our Time.*.
