Approx. 9.5" x 6.5" x 1.25" 282 pp. + Addenda Synopsis: Unauthorized biography of Texas oil pioneer and tycoon Glenn H. McCarthy, audacious wildcatter, savvy businessman, and a remarkable human being. From the book: "More men make real money after forty than before. Agreed. But what is the future of a man who controls an empire at an age when most men have yet to get a good bead on the target? And McCarthy, like that r'arin' Jeep he drives on his ranch trails, has four gears and an awful powerful reverse... 'If they took everything away from Glenn right now except his pants and his family, and left him flat broke on Main Street, he'd make another big stake in six months.'" CONDITION is FINE, without dust jacket. Book evinces some moderate shelf wear and signs of gentle use, esp. at head & tail of spine, but edges & corners remain clean & sharp. Green covers & gilt titles are bright and vivid; binding very sound, square & reasonably tight; text block is virtually pristine, pages clean & crisp, unmarked within, save for dedication and signatures on half-title of several individuals -- friends & family of Glenn McCarthy, to wit: Will McCarthy, Leah Townsend McCarthy, Herbert H. Townsend, and M.O. "Othar" Johnston, inscribing the volume with a dedication to one Bud Johnston (see photos). Also, presumably unrelated name of previous owner to top of half-title, with date and location. All in pen. Otherwise than as mentioned, book is in superb, almost as-new condition. Please inspect photos carefully; message with any inquiries.Photos are of the actual item you will receive. Packed with Care and Ships via USPS Priority Mail, tracking, insurance and signature delivery confirmation included. * * *Thank You for Looking!!
