First edition, first issue. 8vo, publisher's original black cloth lettered in gilt and lined in red on the spine and upper cover, in the pictorial dustjacket. 383 pp. A very good copy, with light wear to edges of dustjacket and a 1/4" closed tear at the back spine fold, now secured. A pleasing copy. Scarce. FIRST EDITION. FAULKNER'S 6TH BOOK OF STORIES. "Ranging from the novella length of The Fire and the Hearth to the etched sharpness of the title story, Go Down, Moses, these tales bring to life, in grandeur and degradation, an unforgettable gallery of characters. They represent Faulkner in his best narrative vein as the chronicler of that section of the United States with which the whole world now identifies him.
