Presents the short story "Serves You Right," by Jack Ewing.

The article provides answers to the questions related to book collections of William Faulkner including the most difficult of Faulkner's signed, limited, editions to find, the three titles issued between 1929 and 1962, and the most difficult post-1950 title to find in a true first edition.

The article focuses on the contribution of James Stone, Jr. and Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) fraternity to the publication of William Faulkner's novel in Mississippi. The publication announcement of "Sartoris" and "The Sound and the Fury" in SAE quarterly magazine "The Record" provided evidence of the author's hometown and fraternal ties. The March 1929 issue linked James Stone, Jr.'s contribution to the updates of author's novels in "The Record" for he was the brother of Phil, Faulkner's friend.

The article reports that the "Sound & Fury" by William Faulkner is wrapped in 50-cent point. According to the author, the term "point" usually means a further search for just the right issue and a further premium from the point-wise book dealer. It contains two sections including "Modern Books of Interest and Merit" and "New Publication." Moreover, the 50 cent point was found in the price of a book titled "Humanity Uprooted" by Maurice Hindus which is listed under "New Publications."

The article highlights the November 1911 St. Nicholas magazine as a consolation stone. According to the author, at the age of 13 William Faulkner joined the St. Nicholas League where novice artists were encouraged to submit original poems, short prose pieces and photos. He added that the magazine is of more than passing value to the Faulkner collector because it represents the only national appearance of the name spelled 'Falkner.'
