Zane GREY / The Drift Fence Signed

Description: The Drift Fence Author: GREY, Zane Title: The Drift Fence Publication: New York: Grosset & Dunlap, n.y. Description: Hardcover. Small 8vo. Light blue mesh cloth with dark blue lettering and rules, pictorial dust jacket. 314pp. Fine/very good. Mild jacket edgewear to otherwise-bright jacket. Shockingly tight and bright reprint edition of this 1932 shoot-'em-up set in Arizona involving (to cite jacket flap) "Traft, powerful cattleman and owner of the Diamond...." This superbly fresh copy has a choice autograph twist: Tipped to the blank leaf facing the title page is a fine heavy stock 5" X 3" card boldly signed and inscribed in blue fineline by Benny Baker, n.p., dated by him "Nov 26 -- 84" at upper right; below his signature, he adds "P.S. Thanks for remembering me." Baker (1907-94), who played Jim Traft in the 1936 film version of the novel, was a popular actor and comedian in more than fifty films of the 1930s and '40s. Laid in is the ideal bookmark: Baker's original transmittal envelope. Unusual copy!
