Lot of four literature paperbacks: William Faulkner's As I Lay Dying and The Sound and the Fury (both Vintage International), Flannery O'Connor's Wise Blood (Farrar, Straus and Giroux), and The Portable Blake edited by Alfred Kazin (Viking Portable Library, Penguin). Used reading copies with cover wear — creasing, rubbed edges and small price stickers on three covers.

The Sound and the Fury has a long crease across the front cover and The Portable Blake has a creased, edge-worn cover. Wise Blood is the cleanest of the four. Interiors not photographed.

Two Faulkner classics and O'Connor's first novel make a ready Southern literature shelf for a student, book club or reader — with Blake's poetry and prophetic books as a bonus.
