Whip Hand. By W. Franklin Sanders
first edition
1961 · New York
by WILLEFORD, CHARLES
New York: Gold Medal, 1961. First Edition. Paperback original. Near fine. Long rumored to have been co-written by Charles Willeford, the recent surfacing of the original typescript for the novel entitled “Deliver Me From Dallas!” shows the title page is credited to both Sanders and Willeford. A xerox copy of the typescript is included and shows a number of differences from the finished book. Why Willeford’s name was taken off at publication remains a mystery. “Lash by bloody lash, the she-devil from Dallas would get her revenge.” “This guy wasn’t treating me like a pro. To him I was just a roll in the hay if he played it right. For me, that’s progress.” (Inventory #: 4245J)
