Richard Brautigan
Rommel Drives On Deep Into Egypt
New York: Dell Publishing (Delta), 1970
First Delta Printing
Trade paperback. First Delta printing, April 1970. Cover photographs by Edmund Shea. Book design by Grabhorn-Hoyem, San Francisco.
Brautigan’s fourth poetry collection, published at the height of his cultural prominence. The poems move between irony and melancholy, war imagery and pastoral absurdity — a tonal balance that defines his early 1970s work. The Delta edition, with its stark photographic cover, remains one of the more visually striking paperbacks of the period.
Condition:
Very Good. Light surface wear and minor edge rubbing; slight toning to text block. Binding firm and square; no markings observed.
A strong example of the early Delta issue, increasingly sought by collectors of mid-century literary paperbacks.
