Description: A presentation copy of the reissue of Abbey's second book, one of the great novels of the contemporary West, and long out of print in hardcover.

In the course of making a film from the novel, Abbey and Douglas corresponded, and they later met as friends: Douglas said the book "latched onto my soul" when he first read it; and Abbey, in a preface to the 1971 edition, thanked "the little band of loyal fans, including the actor Kirk Douglas, who have somehow kept [the book] alive through all these years." Fine in a fine dust jacket.
