Verona, Virginia, McClure Press, (1970). The first book by the author of The Great Santini, The Lords of Discipline and Prince of Tides, among others. Signed by the author and dated by him in the year of publication, as well as signed by the subject of the book, Lt. Colonel T.N. Courvoisie, i.e. "The Boo." Fine in a bright and fine dust jacket, with a "Boo's Immortals" card laid in. A beautiful copy of his uncommon first book, a tribute to a beloved Commandant of Cadets at his alma mater, The Citadel, in Charleston. Because it was printed and distributed outside of normal publishing channels, The Boo has become one of the scarcest first books of the last several decades. From the collection of Bruce Kahn.
