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. (#013757) $7,500.00
