Vintage Books Author or Player Signed, or not

On occasion when the opportunity arises, I sometimes acquire books that once belonged to an athlete, star, or some well-known person's estate. I recently picked up a few books that belonged to Red Faber and one of them is signed not only by the author, Warren Brown, but also by Red himself. Looking at it this morning, it made me think this might be a good topic for a thread as I'm sure there are some jewels out there. If so, please show them so we can all enjoy.
Here is the book, The Chicago White Sox, Warren Brown, First Edition with dust cover, 1952. Autographed by Warren Brown and on page 35 by Red himself. Enjoy and let's see some books! |
