Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. First issue, containing the early Larry McMurtry piece, "Chili With Beans." Included is a carbon copy of a letter from Yellow Barn Press bibliographer, Jack Walsdorf, asking McMurtry to inscribe some books via mail. There is also a holograph, signed slip of paper from McMurtry in response stating "I don't inscribe magazines, learned my lesson, Larry." The New River is very good with some soiling and toning to wrappers, clean internally. The signed paper shows some wrinkling, and the carbon copy of the Walsdorf letter is near fine.

1 p. 8vo. Fine.

1 p. 11 x 8-1/2 inches, with addressed and stamped envelope. Horizontal creases where folded. In five short paragraphs, McMurtry discusses marital confusion, negotiations for his second book, and other matters. With a clipped newspaper ad for "The Last Picture Show" opening in San Francisco, and a chatty 2-page typed letter, 1967, on UW-Madison English Department letterhead mentioning "Larry's book" "not grabbing us" and why not.

First edition. 11" x 8 1/2" typed letter signed to a fellow bookseller dated 30 Oct. 1998. The letter is three paragraphs in length and says in part: "Dear Dr. Loblolly - As a long time customer I note with dismay the evident slackening of your interest in Laura Riding. Has she been relegated to the Autres Choses --- does that have something to do with Gene Autry?" McMurtry discusses his purchase of a Fort Worth, Texas bookshop: "We just bought Barber's in Ft. Worth, the oldest bookshop in Texas (since 1925) and the one in which I bought my first second hand book (in 1954)." He concludes his letter with an invitation to his colleague: "By early in the year 99 there will be excitement in Booktown. It might be worth it for you to drift this way." Signed in ink, "Best, L." The letter features the hand-drawn McMurtry family cattle brand at the top. Three faint fold lines else fine.
