McCullers (Carson) Clock Without Hands, first edition, signed presentation inscription from the author with a picture of a heart with an arrow through it to endpaper and inscription below in another hand "Inscribed to me, as editor, by the author - however illegibly!", original cloth, light rubbing and fading to tips of spine and corners, dust-jacket, price-clipped, with the original glacine panel to the upper cover, short tear to head of panel, light rubbing and minor creasing to head and foot, but near-fine generally, 8vo, Boston, Houghton Mifflin, 1961.

⁂ An excellent association copy inscribed from the author to her editor, Joyce Hartman. McCullers' strokes and general ill-health had left her writing from this period almost illegible, the inscription though likely reads "J. love Carson". Joyce Hartman (1921-2009) was the New York editor for Houghton Mifflin.
