New York, Farrar, Straus & Cudahy, 1958. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A near fine copy. A dark comedy concerning an eccentric group gathering in a mansion, awaiting the end of the world, while the imposing sundial casts an ominous shadow over their lives. Some light handling wear with a nick to the lower rear corner. A little bumping to the spine tips. Overall a presentable copy. [10976, Hyraxia Books].
