[Charles Agvent]

/Tennessee Williams's/ /centenary/ /is celebrated in 2011/.

WILLIAMS, Tennessee. A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE. New York: New Directions, 
(1947). First Edition. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Spine of 
book a bit sunned but the lavender boards have strong color and only 
minimal rubbing at the edges. Two closed tears, the longest one inch, on 
the front panel of the Alvin Lustig-designed dustwrapper which has the 
typical sunning to the spine for this title. Still the lettering, 
including the author's name, is very readable. Quite an attractive copy 
of this important title.         $2,500.00

WILLIAMS, Tennessee. A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE. New York: New Directions, 
(1947). First Edition. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. This was 
Assistant to the Producer Irving Schneider's copy with his pencil 
signature on the front endpaper. Schneider is listed at the bottom of 
the cast page. Laid in is a 5" x 7" black-and-white photograph of Kim 
Hunter, who played Stella Kowalski in the original production, SIGNED by 
the actress. Light chipping to the head of the spine of the book and 
typical wear to the bottom edge. Dustwrapper is chipped at the top front 
corner and at the spine tips but with no loss to the lettering which is 
still clear. Very Good in a Good or better dustwrapper.         $1,000.00
