New York: Boni & Liveright. 1927. Faulkner's second novel, which had a first printing of 3047 copies. Bookplate gently tipped to the front pastedown. Slight push to the crown and trace wear to corners, but a very near fine copy with the orange stamping on the front cover and spine still bright and fresh, in a lightly rubbed, near fine example of the first issue "mosquitoes" dust jacket. A very attractive copy of a book seldom found in this condition.

Mosquitoes is a satirical novel by the American author William Faulkner. It was Faulkner's second novel, and it explores the lives and motivations of several artists and their social circle during a week-long yacht excursion from New Orleans to the Gulf of Mexico.
