GADDIS, William. THE RECOGNITIONS. New York: Harcourt, Brace and 
Company, (1955). First Edition. Advance Reading Copy in printed wraps of 
the author's first book. Scarce format for an uncommon book, this copy 
has slight creases at the corners and a few small stains to the bulked 
text edges. Any example of this advance copy in decent condition is 
remarkable due to its age and its bulky format. Very Good and uncommon 
in this advance format. (#007547) $500.00
