NY: Knopf, 1973., 1973. First printing. 8vo. 226 pp. Original black clothbinding. With a fabulous full-page INSCRIPTION from Crews to Don Kaufmann: "This is for my friend Don Kaufmann, to remind him of what he already knows -- that the Hawk is the last wild vicious beast left -- excepting man. Harry Crews." The late Don Kaufmann was a close friend of Crews, a scholar and a noted collector of American literature whose collection was sold in two featured Heritage Auctions recently. This is a fine book in a bright, fine price-intact ($5.95) DJ. Scarce with such great inscription.. Inscribed by Author(s). 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Dust Jacket Included.
