THE STONE ANGEL
Edition: First Canadian issue
Toronto: McClelland & Stewart, 1964. The correct first edition, in the first issue binding. A fine copy, yellow topstain bright. Dust jacket (design by Frank Newfeld, unlike the US jacket), has very light yellowing to white portion of spine, and very light sunning to the orange portion; else fine. A really nice copy. Though the Canadian edition was printed in the US and used the US binding design, the book was first published in Canada on 23 May, while US publication was on 15 June, 1964. One of the highspots of postwar Canadian literature, the first edition is not common today, and most uncommon indeed in this condition.; Octavo
