A first edition, first printing of The Trials of Jimmy Hoffa: The Autobiography of James R. Hoffa, inscribed and signed by James R. Hoffa. This copy is in Fine condition, with a tight binding, clean pages, and minimal signs of handling. The original dust jacket is in Good condition, showing moderate wear consistent with age while remaining complete and attractive. The dust jacket is protected in a clear archival Mylar cover and will be shipped with the Mylar protector in place. This copy has been personally inscribed by James R. Hoffa, reading "To my friend," followed by his signature, adding an appealing personal element beyond a simple autograph. Published shortly after Hoffa's release from federal prison, this autobiography presents his account of the legal battles, labor movement, and controversies that made him one of the most influential and enigmatic figures in twentieth-century American history. First editions signed by Hoffa are increasingly difficult to locate, particularly in such well-preserved condition with the original dust jacket. An attractive inscribed first edition, ideal for collectors of labor history, American political history, organized labor, and notable twentieth-century figures.
