THE KINGDOM OF EARTH WITH HARD CANDY A BOOK OF STORIES

THE KINGDOM OF EARTH WITH HARD CANDY A BOOK OF STORIES, New Directions, 1954, first edition, very fine in just about fine publishers slip-case with some professional restoration to the spine of the slip-case. Of allegedly 100 SIGNED copies, this is copy #9 with numbered copies seemingly showing up less frequently than presentation copies. This title story was not included in the original simultaneous publication entitled HARD CANDY A BOOK OF STORIES. The actual number of copies extant is unknown. Apparently, the authors scarcest book to locate in first edition.
