A tight, attractive first edition of this volume in general editor Moore's "Crosscurrents / Modern Critiques" series. From the library of academic and literary critic Joseph J. Waldmeir (1923-2013), who pencils a few minor margin notes and marks here and there, with a small sheet of his harsh pencilled notes laid in ("Gibson's style not so hot -- Extremely repetitive, acts often as if he's talking down to reader, emphasis on the obvious....") -- probably notes toward one of his published reviews.
