THE BALLAD OF BILLY BONNEY.
by Henry, Will
Limited to an edition of 67 copies signed by the author and printer. Henry was a great Hollywood fiction and screen writer whose works were often adapted for film. This text is a previously unpublished manuscript he wrote but never tried to have published, which was later found by Dale Walker of El Paso, Texas and offered to Dick Fleming of the Flying Coffin Press for publication. Contains a preface by Henry and an illustration of Billy the Kid as a frontispiece. Printed in red and black Century Bold type with Italic on Warren's Olde Style paper. Letter on Flying Coffin Press letterhead from Dick Fleming (but signed "famous") presenting book to previous owner (Donn Sanford) gratis and giving information on Will Henry laid-in. Minor wear.
