Boldly signed by Thomas McGuane on the title page. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Kaye Bellman. Housed in a custom half morocco slipcase. A hilarious novel about boyhood rivalries gone terribly wrong from the highly acclaimed author of Cloudbursts and Ninety-two in the Shade.
