Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. Dust Jacket Condition: near fine. First Edition. Quarto, 244pp., illustrated. A crisp, clean copy, near fine, with gentle fading to the board extremities. In a near fine dust jacket, with a few small smudges, and a closed tear and attendant creasing to the back panel. SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Petit on the title page: "To Anne Harrisson this story of hope and faith - lots of it! Aerially, Philippe Aug 7th, 2002." Petit, a daredevil high-wire acrobat, famously walked back and forth between the summits of the World Trade Center towers on a high-wire clandestinely rigged by he and his friends on August 7, 1974 (incidentally, 28 years to the day before this book was inscribed). The extraordinary feat was explored in the fantastic 2008 documentary "Man on Wire." Petit's feat has been rendered especially poignant in the context of 9/11, an aspect he explores at the end of this book, which was published less than one year after the attacks.

Glossy white wraps, front cover photo of Petit supine on a high wire, 9 1/4 x 7 3/8 inches, 120 pp., numerous b/w photo illustrations. "Philippe Petit (born 13 August 1949) is a French high-wire artist who gained fame for his high-wire walk between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, on the morning of August 7, 1974. For his unauthorized feat 1,350 feet (400 metres) above the ground which he referred to as "le coup" he rigged a 450-pound (200-kilogram) cable and used a custom-made 26-foot (8-metre) long, 55-pound (25-kilogram) balancing pole. He performed for 45 minutes, making eight passes along the wire. The following week, he celebrated his 25th birthday. All charges were dismissed in exchange for him doing a performance in Central Park for children. Petit conceived his "coup" when he was 18, when he first read about the proposed construction of the Twin Towers and saw drawings of the project in a magazine, which he read while sitting at a dentist's office in 1968."
