First edition, first printing. Signed and inscribed by Williams in black pen on the table of contents page: "To Bob, Love, Tennessee Williams Wednesday." Additionally signed by Williams in blue pen next to his poem, "Tuesday's Child,"printed on p. 367. Publisher's white wrappers, printed in brown and green. Very good, with some toning to spine and wrapper edges, light rubbing to spine, a touch of edgewear, and a crease to p. 431. Overall, a pleasing copy, and uniquely signed by Williams.

One of the major playwrights from the 20th century, Williams wrote emotionally devastating works like The Glass Menagerie (1945), A Streetcar Named Desire (1947), and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955).…
