About This Item
Toronto: McClelland & Stewart, 1985. First Canadian Edt.. Near fine in full gray cloth covered boards with white text printing on the spine with a hint of rubbing to the cloth at the head of the spine. In a near fine, unclipped dust jacket with a tiny hint of wear at the top of the spine area and modest soiling to this predominently white jacket. Signed by the author on the fly title page with the date of "85" with no inscription or dedication. Farley Mowat recounts his experiences at being rejected by the US Immigration and Naturization Service at the US/Canadian border in an understandably indignant, but mostly in a humorous style. 125 pages. A very handsome, tight, clean copy with no prior ownership markings of any kind.
