About This Item
New York: Simon & Schuster. Very Good-. 1988. First Edition. Paperback. 366 pages; Contents clean and secure in original yellow wrappers, scattered foxing to wrappers, especially rear wrapper. "Advance Uncorrected Reader's Proof" Welcome to the wild, hot-blooded adventures of Billy the Kid, the American West's most legendary outlaw. Larry McMurtry takes us on a hell-for-leather journey with Billy and his friends as they ride, drink, love, fight, shoot, and escape their way into the shining memories of Western myth. Surrounded by a splendid cast of characters that only Larry McMurtry could create, Billy charges headlong toward his fate, to become in death the unforgettable desperado he aspires to be in life. Not since Lonesome Dove has there been such a rich, exciting novel about the cowboys, Indians, and gunmen who live at the blazing heart of the American dream. With McMurtry's incomparable gift for capturing every nuance of Western life and lore, he weaves a breathtaking tale of excitement and violence, tragedy and comedy, unlikely romance and untimely death. .
