First Edition
Scarce first edition, first impression, of the Rolling Stones' drummer's lightly humorous but entirely sincere tribute, in the style of a children's book, to his great hero Charlie Parker, "who made me what I am". Published on the tenth anniversary of Bird's death, it was originally conceived as a class project while Watts was a design student. With typical humility he describes the book as "compiled by one charlie to a late and great Charlie". Small octavo. Original white boards, titles to covers in black, portrait of the author to rear cover, price label of "Seven Shillings" tipped to front free endpaper. Illustrations in colour throughout by the author. Some rubbing and wear to spine and tips as often, couple of light marks to covers, faint spots to endpapers and margins, contents otherwise clean, illustrations bright. A very good copy indeed of this scarce publication.
