BOURJAILY, Vance. ARCHIVE of 3 AUTOGRAPHED LETTERS SIGNED  (ALSs),
1  TYPED  MANUSCRIPT SIGNED (TMS), and 3 TYPED LETTERS SIGNED  (TLSs).
Interesting  collection  of  letters from the 1970s  to  a  bookseller
mostly  about  his  own books. Examples: "Thanks for  the  information
about  THE  GIRL  IN THE ABSTRACT BED. It may be the  Schneebaum  silk
screens  they  like  rather than the Bourjaily text."  There  is  much
discussion  about his book, THE UNNATURAL ENEMY, of which he owned  or
could  buy  3000  copies,  and turning 1000 of  those  into  a  signed
limited  edition. Included is a SIGNED TYPED MANUSCRIPT mock-up of the
limitation  page. In another letter he asks about the value of an  old
book  he has giving a rather elaborate description of it. Very Good to
Near Fine, with two envelopes.                                 $500.00
