The Brave Cowboy
New York: Pocket Books, (1957).
Price: $300.00
Softcover. First paperback edition. A couple of subtle creases at the spine, but a nice, near fine better than usual copy. The cover art depicts a cowboy recuperating from his wounds in bed, with his head bandaged, drawing his revolver, apparently to fend off outlaws or medical bill collectors. The novel was the basis for the film *Lonely Are the Brave*, starring Kirk Douglas as an old-school cowboy defying the restrictions of the modern world. Scarce in this condition.
