The Galilee Hitch-Hiker
(San Francisco), [O'ar], (1966). The second edition of his second book, one of 700 copies printed. Inscribed by Brautigan in 1966: "This copy is for Don [Allen]." Don Allen, of the Four Seasons Foundation, published Brautigan's Trout Fishing in America in 1967, and other titles thereafter. Allen picked up Trout Fishing after Grove Press dumped Brautigan when A Confederate General from Big Sur failed to meet expectations. With virtually no advertising or promotion, Trout Fishing went through multiple printings, sold 25,000 copies, and made Brautigan one of the key writers of his generation. Fine in saddle-stitched wrappers. [#017995] SOLD

All books are first printings of first editions or first American editions unless otherwise noted.
