[THE] COLLECTED STORIES OF WILLIAM FAULKNER.
New York: Random House, (1950). First edition. In the first-issue gray cloth binding with title page printed in blue and black, top edge blue, and "THE" in title on spine. Although not indicated as such in the book, this copy from the collection of scholar, biographer, and Stanford English professor Thomas C. Moser (1923-2016) with his lightly penciled notes at head of contents pages as well as dates of first publication of the stories and what appears to be a ranking of the previously uncollected stories by date of first appearance. Very good or better with cloth at base of spine softened and a bit crimped and top edge stain beginning to fade. Lacking the dust jacket (trimmed portions of front flap and rear panel laid in).
