(THOMPSON, Jim) Compiled by the Workers of the Federal Writer's Project of the Works Progress Administration in the State of Oklahoma

Tulsa: A Guide to the Oil Capital. American Guide Series

First Edition. Stapled orange wrappers. Slightly sunned at the spine, still easily a fine and crisp copy. An attractively printed pamphlet, and the second (of three) books worked on by Jim Thompson for the WPA, as Director. Presumably Thompson provided much of the text for this rare pamphlet. The Oklahoma WPA produced only four books of which Thompson worked on three (he was not involved in the production of the state guide). A rare Thompson item, perhaps the rarest, preceding both Now and On Earth and his first short story appearance.
