BOUND FOR GLORY
GUTHRIE, Woody
New York: E. P. Dutton & Co., Inc., 1943. First Edition Autobiography and first book by one of our greatest songwriters, author of this country's unofficial national anthem, "This Land Is Your Land." This title, quite scarce in the first edition, especially in dustwrapper, served as the basis for the Hal Ashby film starring David Carradine. This copy is SIGNED by Woody's son, Arlo Guthrie, as well as Arlo's son, Abe, both of whom have INSCRIBED the book to Kathy, Abe adding a 1991 date. Arlo has carried on the legacy of his legendary father as a singer, songwriter, and lifelong political activist. He is perhaps best known for the song ALICE'S RESTAURANT as well as his appearance in the Arthur Penn film of the same name. Number in white at base of spine but no other indication that this copy was in a library; gilt dull but still readable. Good or better, lacking the dustwrapper (Item ID: 015343)
