A Confederate General from Big Sur.

First edition of Brautigan's first published novel. Octavo, original cloth. Signed and dated by the author on the title page, Richard Brautigan January 22, 1964." Review slips of examples we've seen note the publication date as January 22, 1965, so we believe Brautigan must have written the incorrect year as many of us do in the new year. Laid in are two photographs of Brautigan credited to Bancroft Library. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket painting by Larry Rivers. Jacket photograph by Erik Weber. A very nice example.
