First Edition / First Printing. Fine in Fine Dust Jacket. 159 pages. The author's fifth novel. Now widely considered a contemporary classic. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Barry Gifford's "Wild At Heart: The Story of Sailor And Lula". The literary and visual equivalent of meaningful sound bites. "Cuts to the heart with sharply focused shots of young lovers on the lam. Innocents on the road but wise to the needs of their hearts, Lula and Sailor tool along from Louisiana to Texas in a white '75 Bonneville convertible, and when the money runs out, land in Big Tuna, where Sailor runs afoul of the law again. Sweet and foolish, pure but ordained to be defeated, Sailor and Lula represent a bittersweet ideal" (Publishers Weekly). The basis of the brilliant film adaptation by David Lynch, with Nicholas Cage and Laura Dern in career-peak performances. An absolute "must-have" title for Barry Gifford and David Lynch collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Barry Gifford. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. It is also very prominently, beautifully, and uniquely signed in black pen-marker on the half-title page by David Lynch. This title is a contemporary classic. As far as we know, this is the only such double-signed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. Two of the greatest American writer/filmmaker/artists of our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER BARRY GIFFORD AND DAVID LYNCH TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0802111815.
