Description:
Lettered limited first edition bound in quarter morocco and marbled boards. Fine book, dust jacket, and slipcase new from publisher. This was first in a planned new McMillan series of Woolrich books that sadly did not happen. This book features Woolrich stories that are light and breezy in the style of F. Scott Fitzgerald. These stories were published in several magazines during the late 1920s and the 1930s. Woolrich scholar Nevins has written an introduction and a short note about each story. He feels that the early Woolrich stories provide an essential prefiguring for Woolrich's transition to the mystery genre. This is copy VVV of 156 such copies, still in publisher's shrinkwrap and signed by Nevins on the limitation page.
