Faulkner, William A FABLE
Random House 1954 First US Edition; First Printing Hardcover Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket; The hardcover red cloth cover has three crosses on the front and gold and silver writing on the spine. The color of the cover looks just about original because it was protected by the dustjacket but the top edge of the cover is slightly lighter than the bottom edge. The corners, binding and pages are in excellent condition. The top edges of the pages are a greyish color and the side and bottom pages are white. There is no writing, book plates or ownership information inside the book. On the inside of the back cover there is a white diagonal line going from the top of the page to about 2/3 of the way down the page (not really sure what caused this; it's not a cut, not a pencil line).

Faulkner, William MOSQUITOES
New York Liveright 1927 First Edition; Later Printing? Hardcover Very Good in Fair dust jacket; The book is in excellent condition with no foxing and only a little discolouring to the edges of the pages and the spine. The dust jacket is present but incomplete and in two pieces it is very discoloured as well.
8vo; Has the publishers name (Liveright only) on the spine and the dust jacket illustrations of card players on a yacht. Only 3047 copies of the first edition were printed. Between 1927 and 1931 (the date of the second printing) the design of the book's dust jacket changed twice: first the design was changed from mosquitoes to card players (second issue) and then in 1930, after Horace Liveright lost the presidency of Boni and Liveright, the name of the publisher on the dust jacket had to be altered, as in the present third issue.

Faulkner, William SANCTUARY
New York Jonathan Cape and Harrison Smith March,1931 First US Edition; Fourth Printing Hardcover Very Good with no dust jacket; The first printing was the previous month. Rebound in a library binding of blue buckram, with a bit of the original cloth spine tipped on. A bookplate from the Northeastern University Library, Boston. 380 pages, retaining its original purple endpapers. 8x5 inches, in great condition, with a solid binding that could be dropped from 500 feet and it would still retain its integrity. The original binding, with its paper covered boards, was fragile.
Ex-Library; 8vo; According to Wikipedia, Sanctuary, a novel by the American author William Faulkner, is considered one of his more controversial, given its theme of rape. First published in 1931, it was Faulkner's commercial and critical breakthrough, establishing his literary reputation. Faulkner claimed it was a "pot-boiler" written purely for profit, but this has been debated by scholars and Faulkner's own personal friends. In 1933, it was adapted for the movie The Story of Temple Drake, but with all references to corncobs removed to comply with the Production Code and with Popeye renamed "Trigger" for copyright reasons. The novel is set in Faulkner's fictional Yoknapatawpha County (Mississippi) and takes place in May/June 1929.
