Description:
Turnstone Press,1972. Fine First (stated) British edition, preceded by the American edition in 1970. Bright blue boards with silver lettering to spine. Good clipped jacket shows generalize shelf wear with ghost of sticker on front. Chipping on edges, as shown, reveal no paper loss. JLS is named after a test pilot named John H. Livingston who died of a heart attack in 1974. Given the date published, it seems Mr. Livingston made an impression on Mr. Bach. Perhaps that is why the book was first published as a series of short stories in Flying magazine. According to JLS we can all be more than we believe or given to believe. Still true after more than fifty years since the book was released. 8.5x6.5.

The author's first book, it was a NY Times best seller for 216 weeks and the basis for the movie starring Kevin Spacey and John Cusack. 9.5x6.75. 388pg.
