West of the Rockies

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1971. UNCORRECTED PROOF, preceding the First Edition. With a proposed publication date and price in manuscript ink annotation on the front wrapper. Rare, this being the first example we have ever encountered.

Front and rear wrappers affixed to a glued gathering of signatures, presumably the way this proof was issued and constructed. Bottom edge sealed from wrapper to wrapper, with the front wrapper seal separated for reading. Very Good plus overall.
