For The Book Publication by Ballantine Books of "Hombre." Dated March 15, 1961. The novel was published as a paperback original in that year. Leonard received an advance of $1250 against royalties, paltry payment for the novel that would be made into the 1967 Paul Newman film of the same name that is widely considered the author's masterpiece. The film starred Paul Newman as a man straddling two worlds: that of a blue-eyed white man who has been reared by Apaches.
The contract has been stamped by H.N. Swanson, Leonard's agent, and signed by Leonard and publisher Betty Ballantine
