[Rarebooks] FS: Inscribed Jackie Robinson: BASEBALL HAS DONE IT, Signed twice

[Charles Agvent]

ROBINSON,  Jackie. BASEBALL HAS DONE IT. Philadelphia:  Lippincott
(1964).  First  Edition.  Black major leaguers including  Hank  Aaron,
Frank  Robinson,  and Ernie Banks are interviewed by Jackie  Robinson,
certainly  one of the most influential men ever to swing a bat,  about
their  experiences  in  baseball. This copy is INSCRIBED  by  Robinson
with  the  sentiment  "Best  Wishes" and SIGNED  by  him.  Below  that
inscription  in a darker ink and at a likely later date, Robinson  has
INSCRIBED  "To  Rhea and Tony Johnson/Every good wish for  a  long/and
successful  life/together," under which Robinson has SIGNED again. Two
superb  examples  of  this rather scarce signature on the  same  page.
Bumping  to bottom edge of book. Dustwrapper is moderately soiled with
small  chips,  mostly  on the rear. Very Good in a  Good  dustwrapper.
                                                               $3000.00
