Harper & Brothers, 1958. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. 185 pages. Eight short stories, including the titular story which first appeared in the New Yorker in 1956. First edition (first printing). Cloth a bit faded at edges and spine, rear cover lightly spotted, and some browning to endpapers, else a near fine copy; in a supplied(?), unclipped dust jacket with minor edge wear and spine a touch faded, else near fine. This book has a very nice dust jacket which seems better than the book itself.
