[Rarebooks] FS: BOUND FOR GLORY, Happy Birthday, Woody

[Charles Agvent]

GUTHRIE, Woody . BOUND FOR GLORY. New York: E. P. Dutton & Co., Inc., 
1943. First Edition. Autobiography and first book by one of our greatest 
songwriters, author of this country's unofficial national anthem, "This 
Land Is Your Land." This title, quite scarce in the first edition, 
especially in dustwrapper, served as the basis for the Hal Ashby film 
starring David Carradine. Small owner's address label on front endpaper, 
gilt on front cover and spine strong. The dustwrapper is bright and 
attractive free from any major defect but for a large chip at the head 
of the spine, extending to 1-3/4" at its deepest and obliterating nearly 
all of the title. Near Fine in a Very Good dustwrapper. (#015342)        
$3,500.00

GUTHRIE, Woody . BOUND FOR GLORY. New York: E. P. Dutton & Co., Inc., 
1943. First Edition. Autobiography and first book by one of our greatest 
songwriters, author of this country's unofficial national anthem, "This 
Land Is Your Land." This title, quite scarce in the first edition, 
especially in dustwrapper, served as the basis for the Hal Ashby film 
starring David Carradine. This copy is SIGNED by Woody's son, Arlo 
Guthrie, as well as Arlo's son, Abe, both of whom have INSCRIBED the 
book to Kathy, Abe adding a 1991 date. Arlo has carried on the legacy of 
his legendary father as a singer, songwriter, and lifelong political 
activist. He is perhaps best known for the song ALICE'S RESTAURANT as 
well as his appearance in the Arthur Penn film of the same name. Number 
in white at base of spine but no other indication that this copy was in 
a library; gilt dull but still readable. Good or better, lacking the 
dustwrapper. (#015343)        $1,000.00
