New York: The Dial Press, 1966. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First edition. Fine in fine dust jacket. Signed by both McMurtry and Peter Bogdanovich on the title page. Laid into the book is a ticket for a Bogdanovich lecture and signing. Also laid in is a snapshot of McMurtry seated at a table with pens at the ready - unusual, as McMurtry in his later days was a very reluctant signer, which was reflected in the evolution of his signature: from a relatively neat and readable name in his early days, to a scrawl where only the first and last letters of his name are discernible. His signature in the book reflects his later style of signing. Basis for the excellent Peter Bogdanovich film, which he co-scripted with McMurtry. It was Cybil Shepherd's debut and won Oscars for Cloris Leachman and Ben Johnson. A beautiful copy of a book usually found sunned or soiled.

The Last Picture Show is one of Larry McMurtry's most memorable novels, and the basis for the enormously popular movie of the same name.
