8vo. Half-title. Original cloth-backed boards, figured grey and magenta endpapers [first state], top edge stained black (spine slightly toned, slight wear to corners); in unrestored unclipped dust jacket (a few short tears and nicks with some minor rubbing and soiling).

FIRST EDITION, FIRST BINDING. "Sanctuary was written in haste when Faulkner was tired of never selling; like the stories in These 13, it is Faulkner for the non-Faulknerites, determined to shock... The novel was a popular success though attacked by Wyndham Lewis in his 'Men Without Art' and I offer it here for not liking Faulkner better" (Connolly, The Modern Movement, 69). Peterson A8b.
