The Watch: Stories

New York: W.W. Norton, 1989. First edition. Hardcover. SIGNED. 190pp. Octavo [21.5 cm] 1/2 green cloth with green paper covered boards. Very good. The extremities are ever so slightly bumped and faded. There is a very short frayed tear in the cloth at the head of the spine. In a very good dust jacket. The edges are just a little bumped. The inside flaps are slightly browned. Inscribed by Rick Bass on the half title page. This collection of stories by the Montana author is his fictional debut. "Each of these stories jumps out of the book and runs around the room naked. You see and hear it, you feel it, taste it, smell its fresh, sweet smell. There is enough energy in this book to shake a house." - Clyde Edgerton.
