Overview

248 pages. This book contains two separate stories. RAISE HIGH THE ROOF BEAM, CARPENTERS is a story about the Glass family, narrated by Buddy, the second oldest brother. Buddy is attending his brother Seymour's wedding to a gal named Muriel, but he's on Army leave during active duty in World War II. At the wedding, everyone is stunned when Seymour does not show up. SEYMOUR AN INTRODUCTION is a kind of elegy for Seymour from Buddy, told in the form of an introduction to the reader. This is a first edition, although an unknown printing. It is missing it dust jacket, and there are a few small white scuffs on the gray boards. The spine is faded from the sun, which makes title difficult to read—though it's not illegible. The binding is tight, and the pages are smooth and clean. A previous owner's name is inscribed on the first free endpaper.
