Signed by Faulkner at the limitation statement, as issued. This is the smallest limitation of any of Faulkner's limited, signed editions and is among his rarest books. Thomas Verich, curator of the Faulkner Collection at the University of Mississippi, located fewer than 50 copies in his 1991 census. Contains the first book appearance of Faulkner's seminal story, "The Bear." Though sections of the book had originally been published as separate stories, Faulkner actually conceived of it as a novel and in all subsequent printings "and Other Stories" has been removed from the title.
