Winners on the Pass Line
Notes: 93 pages. The author's first book, a collection of fine short stories about Mexican Americans laboring on the margins of society. Your cataloguer remembers when this book was an easy C-note on the collectors' market. The law of supply (never especially large) and demand (not what it should be) has driven the price-tag down, this is one book that is still worth every penny of its earlier modern first glory.
Edition + Condition: First edition (first printing). A near fine copy in wrappers (paperback) with minor wear. Signed by the author on the title page.
Publication: (El Paso, TX): (Cinco Puntos Press), 1985.
Item No: #2492
