 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. HARD CANDY. A BOOK OF STORIES. (n. p.):  New
Directions  (1954).  First  Edition.  Crandell  A13.I.b.  One  of  100
numbered  copies  SIGNED  by the author on the limitation  page,  this
copy  unnumbered  and marked "Presentation Copy."  Crandell  indicates
that  as many as 136 copies may have been issued, but apparently  many
of   these  were  destroyed  and  only   10  numbered  copies  and  20
presentation  copies,  most of which were retained by  the  publishing
house  and  by  the  author,   survived.  This  edition  included  the
homoerotic  story  "The Kingdom of Earth," which was not  included  in
the  Trade  Edition  and  which is not listed in  the  index  to  this
edition.  Mild sunning to spine. Fine in a Fine publisher's  slipcase.
                                                               $2500.00
