Description: A fairly ordinary copy with the spine slightly yellowed and the corners are slightly bumped. Jacket has a dime sized chip to the spine head and other minor edge wear. What makes this copy unusual is that it has a gift inscription from Larry Mcmurtry. Inscribed on the front endpaper to an unnamed friend This is a birthday present I didn't find in time. With the appropriate endearments. Larry. Probably a fairly early inscription but as it is undated that would be speculation. This came from an important New York auction and is guaranteed to be authentic.
