Near Fine in Very Good DJ: The Book shows two pages with a faint rough spot at the bottom edge of the text block; else flawless; the binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of underlining, hi-lighting, notations, or marginalia. Free of ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, or labels. A handsome, nearly-perfect copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing a single, unobtrusive flaw. Bright and clean. Corners sharp. Very close to "As New". The DJ shows light wear to the extremities with several tiny tears and an inexpertly repaired tear at the top edge of the front panel; very mild rubbing to the front panel; the price is unclipped. Attractive and intact, but the tape repair at the top edge of the front panel is unfortunate. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (9.5 x 6.35 x 1.15 inches). 305 pages. Language: English. Weight: 18.7 ounces. Burgunday boards with blue quarter cloth and gilt titles at the backstrip. Hardback with DJ. Nominated for a Bram Stoker Award for the best novel of 1987 Nunn is a fantastic stylist and humorist. He effortlessly creates the ramshackle edges of the California desert in all their seedy glory, and populates them with characters who are as strikingly realistic as they are laugh-out-loud hilarious. What began as a scam ended up as an obsession. Bug House, Harlan, Delandra and Obadiah hopscotch across a quintessential American landscape of dreamers, converts, con-men and cops. Here's a novel in which the urine-soaked bathrooms of lonely gas stations are spray painted with graffiti warning of the coming of Cthulhu.
