Seller's Description:
Near fine. Tall 8vo, wraps, very good or better, inscribed fondly to poet Gerald Stern (d. 2023) and with short slip laid in with a further note to Stern. One of the essays in this book is about the old habit of friends "stopping by" and visiting with each other, and Jacobs, who spent some of his earlier life living in Pittsburgh, recalls (on p. 100) Stern and other friends dropping by and the pleasant times that ensued. Jacobs and Stern thus go way back, old Pittsburgh buddies.
