Description

Signed by author. In 3 generations the Murchison family made the money, then lost the money in one of the largest personal bankruptcies in history, at that time, in the 80's. Interest rates and interfamily resentments brought them down. From selling possum skins to oil wells to Vail, Colorado to the Dallas Cowboys. Their story makes the Dallas TV Show look like child's play. First Edition, so stated. The book is in near fine condition with a bump on the bottom front. The dust jacket has shelf and edge wear, but no tears and is listed Very Good +. The author has signed on the half title page (no personal inscription).

Seller rating: This seller has earned a 5 of 5 Stars rating from Biblio customers.

Book collector for over 30 years. I'm retired and ready to sell. I buy almost exclusively from estate sales and since I've lived in Dallas my whole life, I know the people and where to go. I am a low volume collector and seller and deal in higher quality books. I have a lot of signed and inscribed books. These signatures have not been officially authenticated, but I am confident in their authenticity so I will guarantee them in perpetuity if it can be reasonably demonstrated that the signature is incorrect. .

Terms of Sale: 30 day return guarantee, with full refund including original shipping costs for up to 30 days after delivery if an item arrives misdescribed or damaged.
