McMurtry, Larry

BOOKS: A Memoir

New York: Simon and Schuster, (2008). First edition. Hardcover. In this work of extraordinary charm, grace, and good humor, McMurtry recounts his life as both a reader and a writer, how the countless books he has read worked to form his literary tastes, while giving us a lively look at the eccentrics who collect, sell, or simply lust after rare volumes. This 'memoir' is like the best kind of diary, full of the author's wonderful anecdotes, amazing characters, engaging gossip, and shrewd observations about authors, book people, literature and the author himself. 259 pages. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. Item #14649
