Description

FIRST EDITION AND FIRST STATE of the author's first novel.
When it was published in 1965, less than 1000 copies were sold. But the publication of Trout Fishing in America in 1967 made Brautigan famous, prompting critics to re-evaluate his first publication: 4 million copies of A Confederate General from Big Sur have since been sold.
Price of $3.95 clearly marked on the dust jacket; no indication on the copyright page, like all the other copies of the first edition.
A good copy.

FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINT.
When Brautigan's debut novel was first published in 1965, only about 1,000 copies were sold and the book went out of print. Trout Fishing in America (1967), though, made the author famous, leading critics to reevaluate A Confederate General from Big Sur. 4 million copies have since been sold.
Price unclipped ($3.95) ; true first state with no code on the copyright page.
Fine ; very good. Some wear and small tears on top of the dust jacket. Otherwise an attractive copy.
