No One Writes to the Colonel and Other Short Stories

Hardcover book with price clipped dust jacket (mylar covered). Stated first edition; publisher: Harper and Row. 170 pages. Ex-library with usual indications. This edition is scarce as Marquez was just on his way to becoming a world class writer of great importance when this translation into English was published. These short stories are set in South America, and show the great command of language (and humor) that Marquez is noted for.
