About This Item
San Francisco: City Lights Books, 1984. First Edition. First Edition. Hardcover and wrappered edition. Hardcover edition INSCRIBED by the author to director Tony Bill on the page opposite the half-title page: "Tony / With love and respect to a truly wonderful man! / Always / Ron Kovic."
