Sobre este artículo
This is the landmark three-volume set, each individually signed, by late tennis great Arthur Ashe. From the jacket(s): "A Hard Road to Glory, a three-volume work, is the definitive history of black athletes in this country and a milestone in the presentation of United States social and cultural life.... A major contribution to both black history and American history, A Hard Road to Glory is the saga of African-American athletes, from their seventeenth-century ancestral homelands to the present." All 3 volumes are illustrated with B/W photos, and include a reference section, sources list, and index. A description of each volume follows: Volume 1 1619-1918 Book Description: Warner Books, New York, NY, 1988. First printing. Number line 10-2. Book Condition: FINE. Binding is tight and square. No extraneous marks or writing. Dust Jacket Condition: NEAR FINE. Not price clipped ($29.95). No chips or tears. Signed on half-title page: "Peace, Arthur Ashe, For Joe," (The comma at the end of both the 1st and 2nd volume inscriptions appears as a prelude to the full inscription in the 3rd — see photos.) 194 ppgs.
