264. YATES, Richard. Disturbing the Peace. (NY): Delacorte (1975). His fourth book, third novel. Near fine in a near fine, mildly spine-faded dust jacket. A somewhat uncommon book by this "writer's writer," who remains less well-known than many of the younger writers to whom he served as a teacher and mentor.

265. YATES, Richard. The Easter Parade. (NY): Delacorte (1976). Inscribed by the author to another writer whom he had taught at the Iowa Writer's Workshop in the early 1960s: "For _____ ______, whom I see once every eleven years, in the hope that we might now begin to arrange it more often. With admiration and best wishes, Dick Yates. 10/1/76." Cocked; near fine in a very good, spine-tanned dust jacket with several edge tears. Books inscribed by Yates are uncommon; a nice association copy.

266. YATES, Richard. A Good School. (NY): Delacorte (1978). Again, inscribed by the author to a writer who was his student at Iowa: "For _____ ______, with love, Dick. 8/10/78." Slight spine lean and a touch of foxing; near fine in a very near fine dust jacket with just a nick to the crown.

267. YURICK, Sol. The Warriors. NY: HRW (1965). His first novel, of youth gangs in New York City, later made into a well-received film. Small stains to the margins of the rear endpages; near fine in a very good dust jacket with a few closed edge tears and a couple small stains that are mostly visible on the verso of the jacket.
