This is the Canadian first edition by this Ontario author. It has the Canadian Dust Jacket that shows an old handgun, rather than Abraham Lincoln's face, on the front panel. Bound in the original copper-color boards with black spine lettered in shiny copper. From the Dust Jacket: "Civil War buffs and con men collide in this wickedly funny story of old-time relics and modern greed. Dock Bass is a carpenter-turned-realtor in upstate New York. He has a social-climbing wife he doesn't love, or even like, a job he hates, and a rapidly crumbling sense of self-respect and self-worth. Like a lot of people, he yearns for a change. Like very few, he decides to leave his life behind, hit the road, and go looking for it. He finds it in Pennsylvania, of all places. Summoned to Gettysburg by a law firm, he learns that he's inherited an ancient house from a deceased relative he never knew existed. Renovating the place, Dock stumbles upon a treasure trove of Civil War memorabilia squirreled away in an old root cellar, including pictures and possibly even a recording of Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg. And in a world where John Kennedy's golf clubs are worth $750,000, what dollar figure does one place on items connected to the greatest American president at the venue of his most inspiring and memorable speech? Plenty, Dock soon finds out, as he's forced to defend his new find from the onslaught of collectors, history buffs, and media hounds descending on his doorstep. Fortunately, like Honest Abe himself, he's the right man for the fight -- independent, funny, loyal, and stubborn as a Missouri mule. When the scallywags and opportunists -- including an easy-on-the-eyes television reporter with one hell of an attitude -- start crawling out of the woodwork, he'll need all of that. And maybe a little more.". First Printing of the First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Fine condition/Very Fine dust jacket. Illus. by Mahon, Emily (jacket design). 8vo. 311pp.
