BOWLES, Paul. A Little Stone
BOWLES, Paul. A Little Stone. London: John Lehmann. 1950. 8vo. First British edition. Publisher's green cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the sumptuous dust jacket designed by Keith Vaughan. A very good copy, the cloth clean, just slightly discoloured at spine tips and extremities, one or two corners gently bumped with some shelfwear to lower board edges, but the binding tight and square, the contents mostly fine, with just some light offsetting to prelims. The dust jacket price-clipped, with a handful of small closed tears along the corners and spine head and tail, tiny chips and nicks here, and a few light marks and stains across the panels, but still, a handsome volume of an important work by a gifted novelist jacketed by a maestro at work.
Bowles' first collection of stories, set predominantly in America and Northern Africa. The jacket art by Vaughan is instantly striking.
