Bowles's first collection of short fiction since the publication of A Delicate Prey, gathering 13 stories. While no hard numbers are known for how many such proofs were printed, marketing materials for Crane from this period suggest they would not undertake a job printing fewer than 11 copies of a proof, with other known examples from this period numbering between two to three dozen. Uncommon, particularly signed. Miller A16.
