Condition: Very Good

Description: "This 5.625 x 8.375 inch, 130 page hardcover book with dust wrapper is the first edition of this title by New Directions Books in 1948, with "First Edition" stated on the copyright page. This book is in very good condition with a good dust wrapper now in a mylar sleeve. The blue-grey cloth covers with black lettering on the spine show only a bit of edge wear but there is some wear at the corners. There appears to be a touch of discoloration to the blue-grey cloth but this may be its true color. The interior text shows a previous owner's bookplate on the ffep and an inked inscription "Almost unbearable in its sensitivity and poignancy" on the half-title page. Beyond that the text is in at least very good condition with only a bit of time and handling wear to be seen. The book has the four black-and-white photographs. The dust jacket shows considerable time wear as there is chipping along the top and bottom edges, wear, chipping, and several missing pieces from the jacket at the folds - - with a largish one-inch by half-inch piece missing at the bottom of the spine. The jacket has the curious clipped corners, the $2.75 price still showing, and the three titles by Tennessee Williams listed on the back jacket flap. 130 pages."

Williams, Tennessee. Summer and Smoke. New Directions (c.1948), (n.p.), 1948.

Price: US$100.00 + shipping

Condition: Very Good

Description: (price-clipped) [good solid copy, slight discoloration to cloth at top of spine, age-browning and light spotting to top of text block; jacket spine a little faded, some uneven fading to front panel, browning around perimeter of rear panel, minor wear to extremities, a couple of light scuff marks on front panel]. (B&W photographs) The text of this edition is illustrated by four photographs from what I presume is the original 1948 Broadway production, starring Margaret Phillips and Tod Andrews -- although I have seen at least one of these photos (credited to Eileen Darby) identified as having been from a production at the Dipson's Erlanger Theatre in Buffalo, New York. (Nowhere in the book are these photographs attributed to a specific production, although it is noted that the play was first produced in Dallas, by Margo Jones.) The original Broadway production, by the way, was a bit of a flop, despite being TW's immediate follow-up to "A Streetcar Named Desire." The play didn't really make a splash until its 1952 revival at New York's Circle in the Square, which also was Geraldine Page's first major stage success; she reprised her role as Alma in the 1961 film version, opposite Laurence Harvey. [NOTE: This is the first issue dust jacket, with the rear jacket flap containing advertisements for three books under the heading "Other Books by Tennessee Williams" -- not, as you will occasionally see stated, "reviews" of any sort.]
