Fibre Board. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Scarce 1st edition of this controversial book. Signed by Fleeta Drumgo in blue and John Clutchette in red felt pen under the George L Jackson on the title page. I have no way of confirming the authenticity of these signatures but have no reasont to believe they are not genuine. The previous owner of the book whose bookplate and further inscription dated July 1972 appears on the inside front cover and front end paper. I have a number of his books, many of scarce origin and I know he spent time in the USA collecting and buying books. Pages slightly but evenly tanned, red top edges, unmarked. Binding tight. D/w some wear to top edges and a bit grubby top and bottom. A fine rare book possibly the only one with the signatures. Fleeta Drumgo, Juhn Clutchette. Seller Inventory # 009055
