New York: Doubleday & Co., 1977. First Printing, First Trade Edition. . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. The fourteenth novel from Green, who is perhaps better known for "The Last Angry Man," "To Brooklyn With Love," and "The Lotus Eaters, features an unlikely hero -- Daniel D. Vormund, 80 years old, a retired professor, who stands between the creatures and land of the Sonora desert in Southwestern Arizona and the wealthy developers, builders and ranchers who care only about more wealth. Signed and inscribed by Green on the front end paper. A faint, quarter-inch line along the top edge of the front cover where the cloth has lost a bit of color, o/w boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square, not remaindered. The dustjacket shows a similar discoloration along the top edge of the front panel as well as minor edgewear and wear at spine ends and corners. No significant tears, creasing or chipping, not price-clipped. Green's work, especially signed, is becoming hard to find.
