This first edition copy of Joe Louis: American, is inscribed first by the author, "To Joe, Best Regards, Margery Miller," dated November 9, 1945. Later in blue ball point ink, Joe Louis himself inscribed the book To Andy and simply signed his name. The bold blue signature measures 11/2 x 3" and easily rates a 9 out of 10. The book itself is in EX condition with very minor age discoloration which does not at all affect the multitude of photographs included in the book which chronicles the famed pugilist's illustrious career.
