About This Item
New York: Random House, 2004. First Printing, First Edition Thus. . Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. The first complete collection of the elegant, if often grotesque, short stories of Capote, who is generally known for two longer works, "Breakfast At Tiffany's" and " In Cold Blood." With an introduction by novelist Reynolds Price. A pair of pencil eraser-size stains next to the spine on the bottom edge of the text that may be due to a manufacturing error, o/w boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square. The dustjacket is price-clipped, with a touch of edgewear. A very nice copy.
