About This Item
New York, NY: Knopf, 1969. Book. Very Good. Cloth. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. New York, NY, Knopf, 1969. First edition. 8vo. Tan cloth with gilt lettering embossed on spine and front board, brown edge at top of text block, rough-cut pages, 437 pp. A wonderfully rich novel- a combination of mystery, violent conflict, and comic romance overlying a remarkable re-creation of a time and place, as Sam, in search of the truth about his father and the path he must take, moves among the vibrant characters that people this book and the mystery that hovers over their lives is gradually unraveled. Corners bumped. Very good in a very good dust jacket, protected by a mylar cover..
