About This Item
New York: William Morrow, 1968. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. Octavo, 248, [i] pages, clothbacked green boards; shows substantially less mottling under the dust jacket flaps than the other copy I have in stock - a characteristic, more or less, of copies of this edition; fresh, tight, appears unread. NOTE: this color change has been described as "mottled" or 'mottling". the dark blue of the endpapers is faded only under the dj flaps. In this copy "mottling" does not apply because it is not spotty or blotchy; but essentially uniformly lighter blue. You decide. Also, small crease dj flap lower corner.
The first book by Crews. Ahearn's AUTHOR PRICE GUIDES reports only 4000 copies were printed. DJ blurb by Andrew Lytle, who mentored Crews in writing class. In the category of "Rough South", a.k.a. Grit Lit.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
