Sobre este artículo
Publisher's cream-colored paper boards backed with black buckram. In the original blue slipcase with illustrated paper label on side (lightly soiled, with residue of a small sticker on one side). ◆Binding and contents in mint condition.
This is a very fine copy of Capote's autobiographical short story about family and the trials and tribulations of childhood, in which the narrator learns a hard lesson about the price of revenge when he publicly embarrasses the school bully. As the colophon to the present work explains, "Until he was ten years old, Truman Capote lived with a family of distant and elderly cousins in a small town in rural Alabama. . . . [This] is a frankly autobiographical story about those years, and especially of his relationship with one of the cousins, Miss Sook Faul. The photograph on the cover of this edition is of the author and Miss Faulk, who died in 1938 while Mr. Capote was a student at a military academy in New York State.".

Sobre Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books and Medieval Manuscripts
Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books an Manuscripts was established in 1978 on a ping pong table in a basement in Kalamazoo, Michigan. From the beginning, its founder was willing to sell a range of material, but over the years, the business has gravitated toward historical artifacts that are physically attractive in some way--illuminated material, fine bindings, books printed on vellum, fore-edge paintings, beautiful typography and paper, impressive illustration. Today, the company still sells a wide range of things, from (scruffy) ninth century leaves to biblical material from all periods to Wing and STC imprints to modern private press books to artists' bindings. While we are forgiving about condition when something is of considerable rarity, we always try to obtain the most attractive copies possible of whatever we offer for sale.
