Pat Conroy - The Great Santini - 1st 1st - Basis for Film

Description: Conroy, Pat - The Great Santini - Houghton Mifflin: Boston, 1976 - First Edition / First Printing - Complete number line, starting with “1”, present on the copyright page as required in order to denote the first printing of the first edition. “On the road, he was alive, vibrant, moving. It didn’t afford the freedom of a jet plane flying through a clear sky, but a highway offered something almost as profound, an entry into the secret regions of the earth where towns with foreign, unrecallable names were violated once, then forgotten for all time.” The book has concavity to the spine, sunning, and general shelf wear. The boards are still reasonably straight, the stamping on the spine is dark, the binding is square, and internally there are a few small stains but no writing, stamps, or other markings. The dust jacket is soiled, foxed, has rubbing, and has edge wear with shallow bites. All in all a solid and reasonably attractive example of a book which is notorious for having been poorly produced. Conroy’s third book. After The Boo this title is, in our experience, his hardest to obtain in anything approaching collectable condition. Basis for the superb 1979 film adaptation of the same title which starred Robert Duvall as The Bull, Blythe Danner as Lillian, and Michael O’Keefe as Ben. All books are offered with a full 30 day postage paid return policy. All books which are in dust jackets will be mailed with a clear archival dust jacket protector fitted.
