Between the Covers

Hardcover. First edition. Boards very slightly sunned, else fine in a lightly spine-tanned, near fine dustwrapper. Laid into the book is a letter to Howard from his literary agent about assigning copyright for one of his plays. Howard has written a brief, acerbic note back to his agent in the margins of the letter, and Initialed it "S.H." Howard's first published, and first produced play, appearing when he was thirty.
