About the item
First edition. 1 vols. 8vo. First edition. Fine in near fine dust jacket with tiny nicks and tears at the spine ends and slightest toning at the spine. Signed by the author on the title page. Custom morocco backed box.
Item #374776
A crisp signed copy of the author's signature title, chronicling the rise and fall of pool shark Fast Eddie Felson. Basis for the classic 1961 film of the same name, starring Paul Newman, Jackie Gleason, Piper Laurie, and George C. Scott. Invariably when the uncommon jacket does turn up it is significantly worn – this is a very nice copy.
