Advise and Consent

Garden City: Doubleday, 1959. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. Early reprint. Fine in a price-clipped, near fine dustwrapper with some modest and slightly irregular fading to the spine, and the announcement of the Pulitzer Prize printed on the jacket. Inscribed by the author: "For Suzanne Shepherd with best regards, Allen Drury." A nice copy of Drury's first book, a Pulitzer Prize-winner and perhaps the quintessential 20th Century political novel. Basis for the 1962 Otto Preminger film with a great cast that included Franchot Tone, Lew Ayres, Henry Fonda, Walter Pidgeon, Charles Laughton, Peter Lawford, Gene Tierney, and Burgess Meredith.
