Be True to Your School - A Diary of 1964 [COLLECTIBLE UNCORRECTED ADVANCE PROOF - WITH BONUS] by Greene, Bob - 1986

New York: Atheneum, 1986. Uncorrected Proofs . Paperback. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. This is a highly collectible ASSOCIATION COPY --- in addition to being a very scarce, collectible pre-First Edition UNCORRECTED ADVANCE PROOF. Laid in is a Fedex Airbill dated 12/3/86, giving the sender as Bob Greene and the recipient as the esteemed author RITA MAE BROWN. There is no inscription in the book, so I assume that Mr. Greene enclosed a letter to Ms. Brown, which she kept. This is an engrossing, revelatory memoir of adolescence in the early '60s. 299 pages [plus Airbill]. CONDITION: a bright, solid, unmarked copy with light shelf-wear, compromised by a few reading creases on the spine and noticeable spine-lean (see accompanying scan image) . This collectible association copy is now in a clear, protective polypropylene bag.
