Turkey Hash
Nova, Craig. Harper & Row, 1972 (1st Ed.). Hardbound. Jacket design by Wendell Minor. Described in the flap copy as 'a direct challenge to the hundreds of flat and tired novels published each year,' this is the first novel by Nova, whose Hollywood upbringing saw him playing with the children of Jayne Mansfield and racing against Steve McQueen. Incredible jacket drawing by Brad Holland, who under the direction of Jean-Claude Suares at the New York Times op-ed page, helped facilitate an industry-wide shift in conceptual heavy lifting from editors to illustrators: 'The writer will give you an article, I'll give you a picture; you marry the two.'
Tight, square spine. Clean, unmarked interior. Mylar-protected jacket is not price-clipped and has only very gentle wear. 197 pp. Featured Rare & Collectible.
