Austin, Encino, 1968. McMurtry's first book of nonfiction, a collection of essays on Texas. Done by a small press in Austin, the first printing was so rife with typographical errors that it was destroyed; reportedly only 15 copies survived. This is a copy of the second printing, preceded only by the suppressed "skycrapers" edition. Signed by the author. Fine in a fine dust jacket. A very nice copy of these important essays on Texas.
