FROM THE HOUSE

This is the sort of volume that belongs on a serious literary shelf — modest in presentation, but meaningful in subject, authorship, and period. It is well suited for the collector of American first editions, the reader of mid-century literary fiction, or as an intelligent gift for someone who appreciates books with cultural and historical weight.
