[Rarebooks] FS: BOUND FOR GLORY Woody Guthrie INSCRIBED with his slogan: Take it easy, but take it

[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." Quite scarce in the first edition, especially in a 
dustwrapper, this title served as the basis for the Hal Ashby film 
starring David Carradine. This copy is INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the 
legendary author on the front endpaper with the last line of "Talking 
Union," a slogan that came to be identified with Guthrie: "To/Ray and 
Betty/Lusk/from me/to you/Woody Guthrie/5-19-'47/take it easy/but take 
it." Small white paint stain on the front cover, the gilt on the cover 
and spine a little faded but clear. The dustwrapper is bright and 
attractive, free from any major defect and with only a few small chips. 
Very Good in a Very Good dustwrapper. (#016457)        $12,500.00
