THE CACTUS 1940 de Dobie, J. Frank - 1940

Texas Student Pub. Inc., Univ of Texas, Austin, 1940, 1940. First Edition. Hardcover. Good-. 4to textured & pictorial fabrikoid with gilt lettering. 528pp. Illust. Yearbook of the Univ. of Texas, so-called "Texas Literature Number". A number of sections of the yearbook were introduced with brief segments from famous Texas historians of the Old West & the Texas Republic, etc.. Dobie wrote a column of information on each historian. Condition: good. A number of the glossy pages in the rear part of this heavy volume were stuck together at the top corner near the binding. Impossible to separate cleanly, some pages have some abrasion or thinness in that restricted area. Last leaf has a torn chip at that corner 1 1/2" x 1 1/2". There is no loss of text. Priced accordingly. A surprisingly rare Dobie item. Not in McVicker.
