Duell, Sloan and Pearce, 1947. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. Not signed, but Larry McMurtry's copy, with his bookplate on the front pastedown, a notable association since McMurtry is Mr. Literary Texas. From the American Folkways Series. A very good book with some fading to edges of boards and wear to lower edges, and a two-inch split to the pastedown endpaper low along the hinge (visible in photo 2), but no split board. The jacket is only good because of a chip to upper inner corner of the front panel. Still, a cool book: cows trailing down a grade on the cover. Curiously the whole back panel of the jacket is devoted to another book in the series, Southern California Country. Please inquire for photos.
