About This Item
California: Landmark Enterprises, 1977. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good/good. Signed and inscribed by the author on the half-title page, "March 22, 1979 To Bill and Charlene Ebert with best wishes - Buddy Uzes." Front flap of the dustjacket confirms that the author was known as "Bud." Heavy green cloth binding with gilt spine titles, in dustjacket. The book is in very good conditoin - clean, straight, and tight as if unread. A minor lift to the front cover is the only noted flaw. The dustjacket is only good with chips and short tears at the panel edges and some scuffing to the white rear panel. 315 pp., indexed, some black and white photos and illustrations.
