Reflections in a Golden Eye

First Edition, First Printing. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. First state dust jacket with the cellophane on the front missing. McCullers' 2nd book, a southern melodrama. Fine in original two-toned decorated cloth and an almost fine first state dust jacket with the original $2.00 price on the front flap. This poorly conceived jacket has an acetate "window," a rectangle cut out on the upper panel that reveals the "Reflections in a Golden Eye" title on the cover of the book below. Almost every copy of this jacket is compromised by the sizing up or shrinking of the acetate over time causing tears and disintegration to the jacket and window. This copy is one of the best we've seen, with a short, closed tear at the upper front fold and top but is otherwise nearly flawless. The binding is tight, and the boards are solid with light wear to the edges. The pages are clean, with no writing, marks or bookplates in the book. Truly a superior copy.
