"I don't need to buy that, I confiscate it": First Edition of True Grit; Signed by Charles Portis
First edition of Portis' classic work, basis for the 1969 John Wayne film and the 2010 Coen Brothers film starring Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by Charles Portis on the front free endpaper. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Paul Davis. An exceptional example, rare and desirable signed and in this condition.
"It is a delight," wrote Walker Percy about Portis' western: "Mattie Ross from near Dardanelle, Arkansas, is here to stay, like Huck Finn." True Grit tells the story of a young girl's search for her father's killer "begins where chivalry meets the frontier" and introduces Rooster Cogburn, immortalized by John Wayne in the 1969 film adaptation that won him an Academy Award (Guardian).
