Larry McMurtry, Booked Up

Larry McMurtry was most widely known as an accomplished author, but his involvement in the literary field began when he started scouting rare books in the 1950s and 1960s. Even during his career as a writer and professor, he taught English and creative writing at Rice University, Larry continued his involvement in the rare book trade and opened up his own shop, Booked Up, in 1970. Larry was a member of the ABAA in 1974 until 1993.
Larry was the author of numerous novels and essays and penned several screenplays, including 'Brokeback Mountain' for which he won an Academy Award. His novel 'Lonesome Dove' was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Literature in 1986.
Booked Up operated out of Archer City, TX and specialized in Literature, Travel, First Editions, and General Antiquarian books.
