2004. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. First edition. A well-looked after copy. Clean bright pages; light shelfwear to upper edge of jacket. When I flipped this book open, I was amazed. It is a fabulous 'museum' of artifacts, many handwritten by Johnny Cash himself, laying his life out for all to see. The photographs are beautiful. The words are beautiful. After reading the book from cover to cover, I feel as if I have spent time with Mr. Cash. I feel like he's an old friend...or maybe even a family member.It is so interesting to see how Johnny Cash wrote songs; it is insightful to read his poems to his wife June Carter Cash---several when she was alive and one after she died. There is a letter written to his daughters when he was on tour in the 60's; letters written to him by Presidents...it's an awesome display of Johnny Cash---the performer, the legend---and the human being.A visual feast, I would recommend this book to anyone!
