  CHEEVER,  John. THE WAY SOME PEOPLE LIVE. New York:  Random  House
(1943).  First  Edition. Author's superb first book, a  collection  of
short  stories.  This  copy  is  SIGNED by the  author  on  the  front
endpaper  and  is  fairly scarce as such. Minor wear  to  spine  head;
otherwise,  the  book  is fine and bright without any  of  the  gutter
darkening  typical  to  this title. The spine of the  dustwrapper  has
minor  wear  to the heel with chipping to the head just  extending  to
"The"  on the spine and to the edges of both panels. The rear panel is
soiled,  as  usual,  and  the  front panel  is  very  attractive.  The
dustwrapper  retains  the original printed price. All in all,  a  nice
example. Near Fine in Near Very Good dustwrapper.             $5000.00
