• Edition: Stated First Edition, First Printing.
• Binding: Hardcover. Two-tone cloth boards (typically grey paper-covered boards with a black cloth spine), featuring clean gilt stamped titles on the spine.
• Condition (Book): Very Good. The binding remains structurally tight, square, and sturdy. The cloth and paper boards show minimal shelf wear, sharp corners, and pristine interior pages free of text markings, foxing, or prior owner names.
• Condition (Dust Jacket): Good Plus (Price-Clipped). The original stylized photographic dust jacket is intact but has been price-clipped at the inner flap. It shows moderate edge wear, light chipping at the spine extremities, and typical minor age-tanning or surface scuffing to the rear panel, but it retains its vibrant display appeal.
• Signature Detail: Hand-signed by Floyd Patterson in a bold, metallic silver sharpie marker across the front pastedown/flyleaf (the page inside the front cover). The signature is clean, unsmudged, and presents an excellent contrast against the dark background of the book’s interior. (Note: This is a genuine hand-signed autograph, distinct from the printed facsimile signature that automatically appears on the title pages of this print run).
