About This Item
The First UK printing published by Simon & Schuster, London in 2006. This is the scarce first issue - The exclusive limited numbered slipcased first edition. This is number '641' of only 1000 copies issued. It is identical to the trade edition in all respects except that it has the extra numbered edition limitation page, is housed in the publisher's illustrated slipcase (with a printed price of £30 to the rear cover) and has the full printing details number line which ends in the number '1'. The subsequent Trade edition printing details number line commences with the number '2'. The BOOK is in near Fine condition and appears unread. Just a hint of toning to the text-block due to the quality of the paper stock used. Free from inscriptions. The WRAPPER is complete and is in near Fine condition. It is correctly priced at '£18.99'. The wrappers used were identical for both the first and second printings. The wrapper is protected in a removable Brodart archival cover. The book is housed in the publisher's striking yellow slipcase with is in near Fine condition with just a few minor markings and superficial indentations in places. Profusely illustrated with B/W and colour photographs. Pele's definitive autobiography of for many 'the greatest the football player ever'. Now very elusive. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.
