Paris: Plain Edition, , 1932. First edition, first printing, one of 500 copies only, this copy of the fragile publication notably attractive. Operas and Plays was the penultimate title issued by Plain Edition, the publishers which Stein co-founded with Alice Toklas in 1930, and collects 22 of Stein's dramatic works written between 1913 and 1931, including her crucial 1927 work "Four Saints In Three Acts". Small octavo. Original tan wrappers printed in black. Housed in the original slipcase. Minor creasing to toned spine, a couple of light marks to wrappers, faint scent of cigarette smoke lingering, a near-fine copy, uncommonly fresh, in the gently soiled slipcase with a few slight abrasions to side panels.
