LAY DOWN MY SWORD AND SHIELD
NY: Thomas Y. Crowell Company, 1971. FIRST EDITION, FIRST STATE. Hardback. But for two quite miniscule chips to the dust jacket, this is certainly an excellent, highly collectible example of the author's scarce third book, a sprawling present-day Texas novel dealing with the various strains of violence that exist in contemporary society. Inscribed and signed on the title page: To Steve / All the best from /your Louisiana buddy, / James Lee Burke
A highly collectible copy, quite scarce today. Fine / Fine but for two quite miniscule chips, one to the dust jacket's right topedge corner and one to its crown. That said, a terrific example, very much a collector's copy. Item #10375
Price: $2,500.00
