NY, Knopf, 1978. A massive volume, which includes all the stories from five of his six previous collections (The Way Some People Live -- his first book, which he declined to reprint during his lifetime -- being the exception) as well as four stories that had never previously appeared in book form. Signed by the author. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award and, in its later paperback release, the National Book Award. Foxing to top edge, inadvertent turns to some lower page corners, slight push to spine; still near fine in a near fine dust jacket with a short, closed tear at the crown. [#033159] SOLD
