Price reduced to $2000 NET

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 the front 
endpaper, gilt on the 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.
Bob Dylan, in his autobiography CHRONICLES, recounts reading BOUND FOR 
GLORY for the first time: "I went through it from cover to cover like a 
hurricane, totally focused on every word, and the book sang out to me 
like the radio.... BOUND FOR GLORY is a hell of a book. It's huge. 
Almost too big." (#015342)        $3,500.00
