[Rarebooks] FS: Appropriate Title for our Day in the Scarce Trial Dustwrapper

[Charles Agvent]

STYRON, William. SET THIS HOUSE ON FIRE. New York: Random House, (1960). 
First Edition. Styron's third book, this copy in the very scarce trial 
dustwrapper of light green paper with red lettering containing only the 
title, author, and publisher on the spine and the author on the front 
cover with the title in green letters on a red background. The only 
other printed information is the price of $5.95 printed in red on the 
front inside flap. Speculation is that no more than 30 copies were 
issued with this dustwrapper with Styron's bibliographer, James West, 
stating that only 12 copies like this were issued. In any case a scarce 
issue. Near Fine in a Very Good example of the scarce trial state of the 
dustwrapper with typical light soiling and a small chip at the head of 
the spine. Housed in a fine cloth slipcase. (#015310)        $500
