Weeeeeeeeeee!!! Weeeeeeeeeeee!!!
The book has on or two spots but as a whole remains remarkably clean. The boards are straight, the lettering is dark and clean, the binding is square and firm, and there is no writing in the interior. The dust jacket has light soiling and some areas of the unavoidable rubbing. While we will admit there are better examples of this jacket that exist, there always are, this one will be difficult to beat. For a jacket known to show every tiny defect this example is dark and attractive, and entirely unrestored. A superb example of the book in a far above average example of the dust jacket. This copy has been signed by Dickey on the half title page with his typical flourishing penmanship. The author’s seminal first novel. Basis for the superb 1972 film of the same title which starred Ned Beatty, Jon Voight, and the legend Burt Reynolds.
