Golden, Fulcrum, (1993). Second printing. Inscribed by the author to a Native American poet: "with deep/ respect/ for your vision/ and with gratitude/ for your friendship." According to the publisher, this is his first novel; actually, it is only his first novel to be published in hardcover. Based on myths and legends of the Abenakis, this is an attempt to forge a link between two disparate forms -- the traditional Native American oral tale and the Western novel. Recipient's handmade bookplate front flyleaf; fine in a very near fine dust jacket with a strip of dampstaining on verso. [#025372] $20
