SIGNED, SLIPCASED, LIMITED, FIRST EDITION, New York, Liveright Publishing Corporation, 2014. New, unread. This is number 44 of 150 Limited & Numbered copies of this special edition which comes in a publisher's slipcase. It is signed by McMurtry on the limitation page.
This short novel follows Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday in the dying days of the "Old West". "The Last Kind Words Saloon is a ballad in prose whose characters are afoot in time; their legends and their lives in history rarely match. I had the great director John Ford in mind when I wrote this book; he famously said that when you had to choose between history and legend, print the legend. And so I've done." - Larry McMurtry
This is a beautiful signed limited edition copy of McMurtry's final novel.
