Fine in a Near Fine unclipped dust jacket with light wear. Publisher's "With the Compliments of the Author" slip laid-in along with a humorous nude fisher woman postcard addressed to Brautigan from "Gatz,": "Mrs. Nelson never looked so good!" and postmarked 29.07.76, possibly a nod to Brautigan's earlier novel Trout Fishing in America. A sharp copy of Brautigan's ninth work of poetry inscribed to the fellow writer and member of the Montana Gang who decades later penned the massive, 600,000 word biography, Jubilee Hitchhiker: The Life and Times of Richard Brautigan.
