About This Item
The Second UK printing published by Simon & Schuster, London in 2006. This is the First issue of the Trade edition, having been preceded by the 'Exclusive limited numbered first edition'. This limited edition had the full printing details number line ending in the number '1'. This, the subsequent Trade edition printing details number line commenced with the number '2'. The BOOK is in near Fine condition and appears unread. A hint of pushing at the spine tips. Some toning to the text-block and outer page edges due to the quality of the paper stock used. Free from inscriptions. The WRAPPER is complete and is in near Fine condition. It is correctly priced at '£18.99'. A tiny small mild crease to the upper front spine fold but barely discernible. The wrappers used were identical for both the first and second printings. The wrapper is protected in a removable Brodart archival cover. The book has been signed by Pele : 'Pele' to the half-title. Loosely inserted is a copy of the advert for the signing event, for provenance. Profusely illustrated with B/W and colour photographs. Pele's definitive autobiography of for many 'the greatest the football player ever'. Now very elusive. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.
