First Edition
A signed and warmly inscribed copy of this baseball-themed coming-of-age novel by Virginia author E. A. Coe (pseudonym of Frank C. Sherrard, Jr.). Inscribed on the title page: 'Asher - fellow baseball enthusiast? hope you enjoy this book!' and dated October 26, 2018. The novel follows Shane Reynolds, a high school baseball standout navigating college athletics, relationships, and personal growth, with a strong emphasis on the culture of Division III baseball and small-town life. Self-published works like this often had small print runs, and signed presentation copies - especially with personalized inscriptions - offer added appeal for collectors of baseball fiction or regional Virginia authors. This copy remains in clean, collectible condition, with no evident reading wear and a tight, uncreased spine. Condition: Near Fine, showing minimal handling. Clean covers, sharp corners, and a bright, unmarked text block aside from the author's inscription. A well-preserved copy. E. A. Coe (Frank C. Sherrard, Jr.) is a Virginia-based author and restaurateur who turned to fiction later in life. Full Count represents his debut novel, drawing on personal interests in baseball and storytelling, and reflects a distinctly regional and character-driven narrative style.
