[Rarebooks] FS: Stanley Elkin INSCRIBED to His Mother

[Charles Agvent]

ELKIN, Stanley. THE DICK GIBSON SHOW. New York: Random House, (1971). 
First Edition. The subject of this comic novelist's fourth book is the 
apprenticeship of an itinerant radio personality. This copy is INSCRIBED 
by the author to his mother: "For Mother,/Who had the good/character to 
change/my life--/Love,/ Stanley." The book and dustwrapper have suffered 
from water damage at the bottom, only faintly visible but with the pages 
wavy at the bottom corner. There is some bleeding from the color of the 
covers to the dustwrapper as well. Good at best in like dustwrapper but 
with a great association from a Jewish son to his mother. (#018596)     $450
