About this Item
Book appears lightly read in a dust jacket that exhibits some closed tears and light creases at edges and extremities, and is nicely preserved in a Brodart protector. Jacket is not price-clipped. Book has been inscribed to "Ned and Peggy with very real affection, Perrin." On the inside front cover, in pencil, is written the following: "Perrin Lowrey was my engaging and admirable friend and colleague, who died in a grotesque automobile accident in the summer of 1965. After decades, I'm among many who continue to cherish his memory. NR". According to the bio on the rear flap, Lowrey was working on his first novel which appears never to have been completed, or if it was, published. A contemporary of Capote, Harper Lee and a writer in that Southern style of the day. A very scarce edition thus. 230 pages + enpapers, with pen and ink illos. throughout. Seller Inventory # 002491
