BRAVO, BURRO!

New York: Hawthorn Books, Inc., 1970. First Edition.

The scarcest of Fante's books published by a tiny publishing house. A bright, stunning example of a title typically seen well-worn or ex-library. Item #29

Octavo; orange cloth, with titling and decorations stamped in black on spine and front panel; dustjacket; 127pp; illus. Fine in a Near Fine, price-clipped dustjacket, with some pinpoint rubbing to extremities and a single tiny tear at upper edge of front panel.
