Nice, quite decent first edition of this noted anthology, with contributions from Stark Young, Grave Noll Crowell, Glenn Ward Dresbach, Howard Mumford Jones and other luminaries. This copy has a fine literary provenance, having belonged to novelist HAROLD BELL WRIGHT (1872-1944), author of such bestsellers as "The Shepherd of the Hills" (1907), "The Calling of Dan Matthews" (1909) and "The Winning of Barbara Worth" (1911) -- whose descendants parted with much of HBW's personal library in December 2005. It does not bear his ownership signature, but is accompanied by a printed statement signed by two descendants on behalf of the Harold Bell Wright Estate specifying that this volume came from HBW's personal library. RADER 1680.
