The Hustler

Harper & Brothers, 1959. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. 8vo. Red cloth spine over brown paper-covered boards, under white illustrated jacket priced at $3.50, 214 pp. Jacket is rubbed and edgeworn; reading soil to spine panel. Who can forget Paul Newman in the classic film? Tevis was a genre-busting author, more interested in telling a good story than in conforming to a particular style. I wish this jacket were better, but at least it's priced accordingly. (Inventory #: 201371)
