Condition: Good

Description: 352p octavo, Binding trifle cocked and with a tiny hole at the top of the boards, - and we think Abbey would find this hilarious-the book has been nibbled at the base of the spine, causing some loss to the cloth and a bit of the boards and the textblock in a poor dust jacket with a large chip on the front cover and a bit more nibbling at the upper flap fold. A unique copy as it is inscribed by Abbey "For my old friend Bill Eastlake, master story -teller, from whom I have learned (and borrowed) so very much ---- from Ed Abbey Moab, Utah 1975". Two lines underlined on page 31 which surely would have been Eastlake we assume. A fair to good copy of a great association.
