Barthelme, Donald — Snow White

Fine Limited Edition New York Atheneum 1967. 0 Fine. The earliest advance copy of Bartheleme's second book. We have found no copies of this advance issue in private or institutional collections and it may be the only surviving example. Three preliminary pages followed by 128 numbered pages--all standard 8.5" x 11" and printed on rectos only. Printed paper Atheneum label on the title-page. The typed portion of the label states the author, title, and publication date of the novel and "UNCORRECTED MANUSCRIPT" (the the word "PROOF" ex-ed by typewriter). Bound with string-ties and a second label (which was probably put in place along the bottom edge by the Book-of-the-Month Club).
