Williams (Tennessee) Letters to Donald Windham 1940-1965, first trade edition, signed presentation inscription from Williams to Burt Britten on endpaper, additionally signed by Windham on title, frontispiece, illustrations, review slip loosely inserted, original cloth-backed boards, dust-jacket, light toning to head and foot, otherwise excellent, [Crandell A43.1.c], New York, Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1977; and a copy of Crandell's bibliography, 8vo (2)

⁂ Shortly after signing the lettered edition (see previous lot), Williams and Windham fell out and never fully reconciled making copies outside of that small limitation that are signed by both writers especially rare. Burt Britten worked at the Strand Bookshop in New York, would purchase review copies from reviewers and then ask authors to sign them.
