Sobre este artículo
1955 Simon and Schuster first edition, first printing.
Inscribed to sportswriter Red Smith by Rocky on the front free endpaper ('To Red Smith - a real guy').
Walter "Red" Smith was one of the most admired sportswriters of the 20th Century. Smith and Graziano were well acquainted. Ira Berkow's biography of Smith notes that the two men were occasional dinner companions, with Smith regularly picking up the tab. Smith was also one of the strongest defenders of Graziano during Rocky's suspension by the New York State Athletic Commission.
The book was acquired from the estate of journalist Harry Rosenfeld, who was a colleague of Smith's at the New York Herald Tribune.
Condition of the book is Good only. The binding is straight and sound. Inside pages are complete and unmarked. The main condition issue is old damp exposure. The bottom edge of the boards shows some loss of paper and discoloration. The spine cloth has some residual stiffness, and the text block is also slightly stiff. See the listing photos.
Condition of the dust jacket is Good. The DJ is complete, not price clipped. It shows moderate shelf wear and edge wear. The DJ is protected in a new mylar cover.
In sum, a collectible and unique copy of this book, that is in less than optimal condition.
