About This Item
Nathanael West. A Cool Million. London: Neville Spearman, 1954. First British edition. Twelvemo. [139]pp. Publisher's red cloth-covered boards, original dust jacket.
"Perhaps my greatest scouting disappointment occurred at Brock's. One day, as I was descending to the basement, which Norman eventually filled to the very brim, I saw what looked to be a perfect copy of Nathanael West's A Cool Million, a few steps down, under a few novels. I had never seen the book before, and was very excited, only to discover, when I pulled it out, that rats had chewed off the back cover. I remember the shock of disappointment to this day." - Larry McMurtry, Books: A Memoir.
From the collection of Larry McMurtry, at his home in Archer City, Texas. His book, with personal brand-mark bookplate.
