About Richard Bach Richard David Bach (born June 23, 1936, in Oak Park, Illinois) is an American author and aviator best known for the worldwide bestseller Jonathan Livingston Seagull (1970) and Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah (1977). A lifelong pilot — he flew in the U.S. Air Force and later worked as a barnstormer, flight instructor, and aviation writer — Bach wove his love of flight into nearly all his work, using flying as a metaphor for transcendence, freedom, and the overcoming of perceived limits. Jonathan Livingston Seagull, the story of a young gull who refuses to accept the ordinary limits of his flock and learns to fly for the sheer love and perfection of flight, was rejected by several publishers before Macmillan released it in a modest first printing. It became a runaway sensation, one of the biggest-selling books of the 1970s, topping the bestseller lists for an extraordinary stretch and selling millions of copies worldwide. The 1973 film adaptation featured a Grammy Award-winning soundtrack by Neil Diamond. Bach’s gentle, philosophical message of self-discovery and limitlessness made him one of the defining authors of the decade. This signed cover — from the very Time issue that chronicled the seagull phenomenon at its zenith — is a wonderful piece of literary and 1970s pop-culture memorabilia, ideal for collectors of modern first-edition authors, aviation, and autographs.
