ROBBINS, Tom
Another Roadside Attraction
Garden City, Doubleday, 1971. The uncorrected proof copy of his first novel and the start of his iconoclastic career. Another Roadside Attraction was one of a handful of contemporary novels that became bestsellers slowly, by word of mouth, primarily on college campuses, long after the paperback editions came out: it never sold well enough in hardcover to go into a second printing, but it has never been out of print in paperback. This proof copy is inscribed by the author: "To ___ ___/Dodging comets, Tom Robbins." Some modest sunning and staining to the cardstock covers; still near fine in tall, comb-bound wrappers, preserved in a custom quarter leather clamshell box. Scarce.
