Additional Details

first edition. number 59 of only 100 copies signed by faulkner. The lowest limitation of any of the author's signed, limited editions, and the scarcest and most sought after of these issues. He wished the book to be read as a novel rather than a series of short stories and thus had the subtitle removed from subsequent editions. Petersen A21c.
