(Castle Rock), Bella Luna, (1992). An apparently never-produced limited edition of Offutt's first book, which was a collection of stories published in 1992 as a paperback original in the Vintage Contemporaries series. Offered here are copyedited, typeset sheets: one full set (140 pages) and five partial sets (approximately 270 pages). 8-1/2" x 11" sheets, printed on rectos only, with copyeditor's marks throughout. Offutt's book received high praise from critics; on the strength of it and his 1993 memoir, The Same River Twice, he was named one of the "20 best young American writers" by Granta magazine in 1996. A few marks where rubber bands once lay; near fine, in manuscript box. Presumably unique. [#915763] SOLD
