Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First edition. Fine in just about fine dustwrapper. Additionally this copy has a custom made overjacket made from newspaper ads, reviews, and is hand painted. We do not know definitively who made the jacket, but very strongly suspect that it was created by Lowry himself, or possibly by his collaborator at The Little Man Press, James Flora (although the press had disbanded after Lowry served in WWII, they still collaborated on some projects). Inscribed by the author on a slip of paper, possibly as part of the "enhanced design." Lowry's first of three collections of short stories. The story "Lawyer in El Paso" was the basis for the 1959 film *That Kind of Woman* directed by Sidney Lumet and featuring Sophia Loren and Tab Hunter, along with Jack Warden, Barbara Nichols, Keenan Wynn, and George Sanders. An enhanced copy.
