by John Carter
First Edition; A Near Fine book in a Near Fine dust jacket, with only mild rubbing to the boards, mild foxing to the page edges and endpapers, and a small chip out of the top of the back panel. SIGNED by the author to the title page; also SIGNED by Larry McMurtry to the front free paper with his bookplate to the front and rear pastedowns. An amazing association copy of this classic work on book collecting; this copy coming from McMurtry's personal library (he writes "not for sale" under his name and address). An important addition to any McMurtry or Books on Books collection. Not remaindered, not price-clipped, not ex-library; in a protective Mylar cover (truncated)
