Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 1st printing of oversize hardcover. Binding tight; pages clean; fading to covers and spine. Autographed by Edward Van Every on front endpaper and dated 10/23/31. Below is an inscription: 'To Nat Fleischer, tops in everything, from Wilbur Wood, March 16, 1951.' Fleischer founded and edited The Ring, a boxing magazine; Wood was one of his writers. Van Every was a columnist for the New York Sun and author of a biography of boxer Joe Louis, so presumably the writers all knew each other. An unusual copy of Van Every's follow-up to 1930's 'Sins of New York'; as with that book, the final two-thirds of this are printed on pink paper. (Both are hard to find signed.) Lacking the scarce dust jacket. 9-1/4 x 11-7/8". 3.2 pounds. 297 pages. Inscribed by Author(s).
