NY, Harper & Row, (1963). His second novel, also one of the "50 best books on Texas," according to A.C. Greene. This book was filmed as Lovin' Molly in 1974. Signed by the author. Faint foxing to the lower edge of the cloth on the front cover, else fine in a fine dust jacket. The jacket is unfaded, and is the first issue, with the $4.50 price. The price was changed to $4.95 very quickly, and most copies one finds have been price-clipped and/or have a price sticker with the new price on it. Most "first issue" jackets -- which show the original printed price -- also have an adhesive shadow or residue where a sticker had been affixed and is now gone. This jacket has none of that: it is pristine, the spine absolutely the same color as the front panel, and all of it bright and unmarred. By far the best copy we've ever seen. From the collection of Bruce Kahn. [#911080] SOLD
