From our new catalogue of 137 items, nearly all recent acquisitions, by EUDORA
WELTY and TENNESSEE WILLIAMS now posted on our web site.
WILLIAMS, Tennessee. THE GLASS MENAGERIE. New York: Random House
(1945). First Edition. Bound in the publisher's coarse, dark
reddish-orange cloth, one of three bindings with no priority
established among them. Crandell A1.I.a. Illustrated with a
frontispiece photograph from the original production. Only 5000
copies of this high spot of twentieth century drama were published.
This copy is INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the front endpaper
"To Marshall/ever/Tennessee Williams." Marshall New was one of the
directors at the Hippodrome Theatre in Gainesville, Florida, in 1979
when Williams visited a week to see a production of his obscure play
TIGER TAILS, which had its world premiere the previous year in
Atlanta. Bottom corners of the book frayed with the board exposed a
little. The dustwrapper has light chipping along the top and bottom
edges but presents quite well. Very Good in a Good or better
dustwrapper. $7500.00
