202 pages. Minor shelfwear to paperback binding. The front cover was opened wide, but remains tight. On the half-title is a typed letter signed, which explains the light crease at front hinge. It reads "...Thanks for your good note. An old story-teller like Willie sure would have spotted David and Saul, but with all deference to a writer I greatly admire, I don't think Maugham would have been up to that particular story. Thomas Mann, on the other hand, might have saved me a lot of agony. But can you imagine what Christopher Marlowe might have done with such material on stage? Wow! We shall ever be the poorer for that stupid brawl in Deptford. With all good wishes, [signed] Wallace Hamilton. April 11, 1979 New York, NY, 10003." First paperback binding edition.
