| Description: |
| Cloth lettered in gilt, jacket. First Edition. |
| Signed by Brautigan on the title-page. Books signed by this iconoclastic writer are scarce. Bruce Cook of the National Observor describes his uniquely gifted style by writing that "Brautigan is good for you. No writer you can think of is quite like him today, nor was any writer anytime - unless you can imagine the kind of things Mark Twain might have written had he wandered into a field of ripe cannabis with a pack of Zig Zag papers in his pocket. That's about as close as I can come to Brautigan, a kind of cracker-barrel surrealist whose humor is essentially Nineteenth-Century Western American." Formerly in the library of John R. Firestone, with his blindstamp on the title-page. |
| Condition: |
| Jacket with light rubbing at the edges and folds, small chip to top left corner of front panel; else fine in near fine jacket. |
