Hardcover. Photographs by Russell Munson (illustrator). Anniversary Slipcase Edition. Signed by Richard Bach in black on the series title page. 1970's anniversary edition, 16th printing. Front spine shows separation from front board. Wear to top/head of spine. Silver gilt on spine clean and bright, with the exception of the "R" at the head of spine. Some chipping to the interior papers of front paste down board. Small pencil marking to lower left of end paste down board. Stamped silver gilt seagull symbol to front board intact and bright. Bound tightly. Interior of book text clean and bright. No toning or foxing to interior. Comes with slipcase that shows some signs of wear and tanning as is common with this reflective material. A still very handsome signed edition. Both "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" and "Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah" ranked among the best-selling books of the 1970s. Richard Bach, the author, expressed his passion for aviation throughout many of his works. His aviation expertise led him through various roles, including service in the US Navy Reserve, the New Jersey Air National Guard, work as a fighter pilot, and even as a stunt pilot operating as a "barnstormer." "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" is an allegorical fable reminiscent of stories Aesop might have appreciated. The narrative traces a seagull's transformation from mundane existence to spiritual enlightenment. Accompanied by black and white photographs captured by Russell Munson, the book achieved notable success, selling nearly 1 million copies. Its popularity primarily stemmed from word-of-mouth recommendations. No dust jacket issued; accompanied by original issued slipcase.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach. Black and white photographs by Russell Munson. 38th overall printing signed and inscribed with artwork depiction of a sailboat, birds and a sun drawn by the author! . The novella, originally published in 1970 is an allegorical fable about a seagull learning to fly. When originally published, this short work had almost no expectations and about as much advertising and hype surrounding its release. Primarily due to word of mouth by the end of 1972 over a million copies were in print and its spot secured at the top of the best sellers list. . Like many special books, this one was rejected by multiple publishers before finding a home with Macmillan. The namesake of the book Johnathan H. Livingston was a Waco Aircraft Company test pilot. He died of a heart attack at the age of 76 just after he a test flight of a home-built Pitts Special aircraft. . The book is now noted as a timeless spiritual classic! The book comes with a letter the previous owner sent to Bach which poses several questions to the author. The author sends back the original letter and answers the questions and signs both the letter as well as the book. Very cool, original item. Book in VG with some toning to the boards and lightly bumped adges. Jacket in VG with edgewear, a couple closed teams and some wear at spine ends. Letter in VG+ with some age toning. . #jonathanlivingstonseagull #richardbach #flying #spiritual #fable #allegory #bookshop #bookstore #bookstagram #rarebooks #bibliophile #igbooks #bookish #spiritualbooks #1970 #bookcollection #signedbooks #ephemera #books4ewe #yorksc.

First Edition Signed
Hardcover. Book is in still fantastic condition with the exception of the spine cracking along the front leatherette board, a very common quirk that we've found with this edition. Some very light sunning to the spine, and very light smudging to back board. An incredibly beautiful copy. Interior is very clean, with Richard Bach's signature on the half title page. It is the 1970 edition, 25th printing. This is a special memorial copy of Jonathan Livingston Seagull created for an event for renown pilot Beverly "Bevo" Howard in 1973 in South Carolina. This edition was signed for Parrish Books at a local independent bookstore. When presented with this edition, Mr. Bach mentioned never seeing one before. An entirely unique slipcase accompanies this edition. The front piece of the slipcase displays the text: Bevo Howard A Tribute to Aviaton's Pioneers. It features "Bevo" on the back with informational panel, as well as the emblem for the "OX-5 Club Aviation Hall of Fame." This is a special limited slip-jacket edition which was issued by the Beverly Howard Memorial Foundation (Charleston, S.C.) in a quantity that did not exceed 3,000 copies. It shows wear we've found quite typical for this slipcase, with some rubbing away of the silver paper and smudging/toning to the overall color, along with some wear to the edges. A previous owner's signature is written to the back of the slipcase. A truly unique edition of "Johnathan Livingston Seagull" that we've never come across with a signature before. Bevo Howard was a tremendously gifted pilot. He became the youngest airline pilot at the age of 22 and trained over 6,000 pilots for World War II. His Buecker Jungmeister biplane was presented for permanent exhibition to the Smithsonian Institute. Richard Bach, the author, expressed his passion for aviation throughout many of his works. His aviation expertise led him through various roles, including service in the US Navy Reserve, the New Jersey Air National Guard, work as a fighter pilot, and even as a stunt pilot operating as a "barnstormer.

The narrative traces a seagull's transformation from mundane existence to spiritual enlightenment. Accompanied by black and white photographs captured by Russell Munson, the book achieved notable success, selling nearly 1 million copies. Its popularity primarily stemmed from word-of-mouth recommendations. Bevo Howard Aviation Pioneer Edition: 1 out of 3000 limited editions issued by the Beverly Howard Memorial Foundation.
