CHATWIN, Bruce. In Patagonia. London: Jonathan Cape, 1977. 8°. Half title, frontispiece map, half tone illustrations. Original dark blue cloth, spine lettered in gilt, facsimile antique maps on endpapers, dust-jacket with price of £4.95 unclipped. FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE, PRESENTATION COPY, the title inscribed, “For Anthony and Tania[sic], with love from Bruce. The note on p.148 makes this, in its way, a bibliographical rarity.” The printed note which Chatwin’s inscription refers to concerns the “financial manoeuvres” of his great-grandfather, amongst other misdemeanours, and was presumably toned-down, or removed altogether, from later editions, although this is not, elsewhere, identified as an issue point. Loosely-inserted, in addition to the author’s and publisher’s compliment slip, is a one-page autograph letter from Elizabeth + Bruce Chatwin, in Elizabeth’s hand, to Tanya Hobson, dated July 11 [?1966], thanking her for “a lovely weekend.” With the same author’s The Viceroy of Ouidah (London, 1980, FIRST EDITION, PRESENTATION COPY, inscribed to Anthony and Tanya Hobson.
