WANDREI, Donald (1908-1987). The Eye and the Finger. Sauk City, Wisconsin: Arkham House, 1944. 8vo. 344, [1, colophon] pp. Publisher's black cloth with spine lettered gold in original unclipped ("$3.00") dust jacket. FINE FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING OF WANDREI'S FIRST PROSE COLLECTION, CO-FOUNDER OF ARKHAM HOUSE. 

The 21 supernatural stories had been previously published in magazines such as Weird Tales, Argosy, and Esquire, and selected by the author to represent his own best work. Though the individual stories have since been anthologized elsewhere, the volume has never been reprinted in its original form and remains "one of the most difficult to find of Arkham House fiction titles." 

Light edge wear, toning to jacket. Else fine.
