The Stones of Summer.
New York: Bobbs-Merrill, 1972. Hardcover. First edition. A very good book in a very good dust jacket. This is the original first edition. Stated first printing with price of $9.95 on the front flap. A sprawling novel that follows Dawes Oldham Williams as he is growing up in the Midwest in the 1950s. It was a well received first novel that was rediscovered only after Mark Moskowitz's Slamdance award-winning film, Stone Reader, explored what happened to the author who dropped out of sight after publication of the book.
