New York: Paperback Library, 1971. Paperback Original (1st). Original wraps. 4 1/8 X 7 Inches. 160 PP. Very Good +. Item #8389

Based on the original screenplay by George Lucas. SIGNED ON THE TITLE-PAGE BY AUTHOR BEN BOVA. The commercial failure of this film was nearly enough to destroy Lucas and any shot he had of making his Flash Gordon Space Adventure known as The Star Wars. Thankfully, American Graffiti came along and turned out to be a hidden gem. The payoff brought enough for Star Wars. Novelization by Ben Bova. Back cover is shot from film starring Robert Duvall. Film was produced by Francis Ford Coppola. A bit of wear at edges and spine. A nice copy of a scarce book overall.
