Smoke from This Altar by L'Amour, Louis - 1939

Oklahoma City: Lusk Publishing Company. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1939. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Green cloth boards, blank spine, title in black lettering on cover. Tight binding. Light rubbing to corners, otherwise in very good condition. Inscribed by author on front endpaper: "To Bob and Roberta—to old friends, there from the earliest years, Louis L'Amour." During production of a film adaptation for one of his novels, L'Amour and the cast signed a number of his works, including this book, his first publication a decade before his Westerns and his only published poetry. This copy became separated from the other signed books; by the time it made its way to us, it had been grouped erroneously with a wide collection of science fiction novels. Despite missing its dust jacket, this copy's clothboard covers still retain a vibrant green color and grain texture. A fine addition to a true L'Amour fan's collection. ; Thin Small 8vo 7½" - 8" tall; 62 pp; Signed by Author .
