San Antonio, TX: Wings Press, 1977. First Edition. First Edition. One of 500 numbered copies SIGNED by Townes Van Zandt on the title page, this being copy No. 418. Additionally there is a gift inscription on the first blank: "To Lacy / On or about Christmas 1982 / All my love / 'Indian Tom'." Wings Press owner Bryce Milligan notes: "1000 casebound copies were originally printed. 500 were signed by Townes and numbered, roughly 100 of which were given to Townes as author's copies. The rest were sold by Wings Press. When I purchased the press in 1994 from co-founder Joanie Whitebird (the other owner was Joseph Lomax), there were only half a dozen left. Another 500 hardbacks were printed and bound but not numbered and signed. Of those at least 150 were completely lost to water damage during one of Houston's periodic floods. The wrappered edition was printed simultaneously with the casebound edition, though it is unclear to me how many wrappered copies were printed, or sold." A collection of the enigmatic, legendary songwriter's music and lyrics, with accompanying photos. John M. Lomax's introduction begins by describing how Caddo Parish Studdard III introduced him to Van Zandt in 1966 in Austin, and goes on to postulate that he may be one of the greatest songwriters of the twentieth century--a claim that was a bit audacious at the time of this book's publication, but one that is today accepted as a fact among folk music enthusiasts and scholars. Near Fine in photo illustrated boards with no dust jacket as issued.
