Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. First Edition; First Printing. Green cloth boards, blank spine, title in black lettering on cover. Tight binding. Light rubbing to corners, otherwise in very good condition. Inscribed by author on front endpaper: "To Bob and Roberta to old friends, there from the earliest years, Louis L'Amour." During production of a film adaptation for one of his novels, L'Amour and the cast signed a number of his works, including this book, his first publication a decade before his Westerns and his only published poetry. This copy became separated from the other signed books; by the time it made its way to us, it had been grouped erroneously with a wide collection of science fiction novels. Despite missing its dust jacket, this copy's clothboard covers still retain a vibrant green color and grain texture. A fine addition to a true L'Amour fan's collection. ; Thin Small 8vo 7½" - 8" tall; 62 pp; Signed by Author.
