Description:
New York: A.S. Barnes, 1957. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. First edition. Gift inscription dated 1959, boards a bit soiled, a very good only copy in a price-clipped, good or better dustwrapper with small chips and tears.

DiMaggio, who is mentioned in the text, may have been forced to seek out a used copy to have it signed, and this copy has an old bookseller's price in it. Several of the books from DiMaggio's library had receipts from his hometown used bookstore, Moe's Books, in San Francisco. With a letter of provenance signed by DiMaggio's two granddaughters. *Shannon 100*.

Max Macon spent most of his big league career as a pitcher, but in 1944 was the Braves starting first baseman for the first three months of the season. Since he was not listed as the starter on the score card for this game, that makes this games card an August or September 1944 game. . SIGNED. First Printing. Stapled Wrappers. Very Good/No Jacket, As Issued. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

SIGNED BY SANDY KOUFAX along with a personal inscription directly to the front endpaper. This rare: most Koufax books have a simple scrawled autograph at the top of the ffe whereas this book features a carefully written, rather beautiful (and legible) autograph. First printing in very good condition with clean text and handsome boards (bumped corners) but wear on the dust jacket (see photos). Still a much nicer dust jacket than most and looks quite appealing with a new mylar cover. Expedited and international shipping are welcome; signed by author.
