8vo. Original yellow cloth lettered in brown (top corners lightly rubbed, some light spotting or smudging to front cover); original dust jacket (extremities chipped with losses, mainly at ends and corners, spine gently sunned). Provenance: Larry McMurtry (his bookplate, which he designed, features the horseshoe-shaped brand his father and grandfather used on the McMurtry cattle), from his personal library at his home in Archer City.
FIRST EDITION of the author’s third novel that has been compared to the likes of Catcher in the Rye and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn for its depiction of coming–of–age, pre–teen awkwardness and self–delusion with dark undertones.
