FAULKNER, William (1897-1962). Go Down Moses and Other Stories. New York: Random House, 1942.

8vo. Publisher’s maroon cloth stamped in green; original dust jacket (some creasing and a few closed tears, small loss to one corner).

FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE, IN VARIANT MAROON BINDING. Published in the early months of World War II, demand for materials for the war effort resulted in Random House using any cloth on hand to bind the first printings of Faulkner’s work. The black cloth binding was by far the more common than any of the variant bindings by a ration of 20 to 1, thought eight variant cloth bindings were produced. Peterson A23.2f. RARE: We do not trace any example of this binding variant at auction in the last 40 years.

The Library of John Leonard Gillis Sold to Support the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, Toronto
