Between the Covers

Hardcover. First edition. Fine in very good dust jacket with some foxing confined mostly to the inside of the jacket, internally repaired tear on the front panel and creasing to the edges. Inscribed by Conroy to the daughter of poet James Dickey, who was one of Conroy's major early influences, and with whom he studied: "To Patsy, Thanks for the kindness, your encouragement, your enthusiasm, your letters, and your friendship. Pat Conroy. May 3, 1980." The author's splendid first novel, basis for the excellent film with Robert Duvall in the title role. Increasingly scarce first edition with a very nice South Carolina-association.
