Race Rock (signed by Peter Matthiessen)

First Edition, First Printing. Signed by Matthiessen on the title-page. The author's award winning first novel follows the exploits and moral degeneration of four young New Englanders. Near fine in quarter green over black cloth, with slight wear to the spine ends, a bit of toning to the inner boards, small date stamp on yellow top stain. In a fine and lovely pictorial dust jacket, one of the best we've seen. Tall octavo. 306 pp. Overall, an excellent copy of Matthiessen's debut work.
