With all first issue points, including unbroken font for page number 3, no printing on the bands of the dust jacket.
The 14 stories in this early collection "are as clear and crisp and perfectly shaped as icicles, as sharp as splinters of glass. It is impossible to read them without realizing that seldom if ever before has a writer been able to cut so deeply into life" (Time). Included are "The Killers," "Ten Indians," "Today is Friday" and "Hills Like White Elephants.". Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket.
