Pristine, tight limited edition (unspecified) of these tales by the American novelist/short story writer/ poet/etc. (1890-1980) -- and bearing two choice autograph additions on fine matching heavy stock 5" X 3" cards: This copy extra-illustrated on the blank leaf facing the title page, a unique frontispiece. In 1985 Porter's novella "Noon Wine" was made into a made-for-television film for the second time, with John Cryer (born 1965) among the cast.
