The Peaches [Tales for Travellers Number 10]

San Francisco: Tales for Travellers, 1982. Near Fine. Item #8664

San Francisco: Tales for Travellers, 1982. First Thus. Single leaf folded into 24-paneled brochure (roadmap-style); pictorial upper panel. Light wear from handling, publisher's rubber-stamp address cancel to rear panel (Napa, CA), else Near Fine.

One of a series of travel-themed short stories issued in map format in the mid-1980s. Other authors that appeared in the series included Roald Dahl, Philip Roth, Edith Wharton, and Truman Capote. All titles are noticeably scarce, presumably due to the rather inconvenient format, OCLC locating just two copies of this edition of "The Peaches" as of February, 2021, at Wake Forest and U. South Carolina.

Price: $40.00
