FAULKNER, William. As I Lay Dying. New York: Jonathan Cape, 1930.
8o. Original beige cloth stamped in dark brown on upper cover and spine, top edge stained brown; dust jacket (clean split to half of joint of upper panel, some minor age-toning).
FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE, with the "I" on p.11 not aligned. The stamping on the front and spine is properly positioned, with the serif on the "I" present. Petersen notes that the irregularities of the binding stamping and differing shades of the top edge stain do not exactly coincide with the dropped "I" issue point. Faulkner's fifth novel is set in the fictional Yoknapatawpha County. The novel revolves around the death and funeral of Addie Bundren and her family's. Faulkner employs the stream-of-consciousness style to tell the story through 15 different narrators in 59 chapters. Massey 16; Petersen A7.1.
