New York; The Viking Press, 1973. First Edition, first printing. Octavo (22cm.); publisher's cloth in pictorial dust jacket by Marc Getter retaining original price ($15) and 0273 code on front flap, orange topstain; 760pp. Larry McMurtry's copy with his stirrup bookplate mounted to front pastedown. Dust jacket shows a few nicks along edges, with spine slightly sunned. Boards mildly shelfworn with some light fading along top edge. Faint spotting to fore-edge of textblock. Binding is sound and pages unmarked. Very Good or better. A superlative, and arguably unread, copy of this obsessed-over brick from the library of the author of other obsessed-over bricks.
