(Wikipedia) This copy has been inscribed in blue ink and presented: "To Joe Outerbridge- In case of attack put on the lead cover and drop over the side. All the best John O'Hara 18 Nov 58." Joe Outerbridge, Jr., was in the Navy. He was the son of Joseph W. ('Pat') Outerbridge of Princeton, NJ. "Pat" Outerbridge was a very close friend and drinking companion of O'Hara who gave him many signed copies of his books over the years. The books are from the collection of Pat Outerbridge's surviving son David. Quoting from Pamela Mac Arthur's book "The Genteel John O'Hara" about O'Hara's relationship with Joseph 'Pat' Outerbridge: "O'Hara's companionship with Sister (his sister-in-law Winnie Gardiner who later became his wife) ended his long nights with his best friend, Pat Outerbridge. Those nights began at eleven o clock in the evening and terminated at three o clock in the morning. Now, he could resume his late night cycle of writing."
