Title: Muhammad Ali
Author: ALI, Muhammad; SHEED, Wilfrid
Seller: David Brass Rare Books, Inc. (United States)
Description: New York: An Alskog Book - Thomas Y. Crowell Company, 1975. Serve God and He Will Serve You" A Superb Association Copy Inscribed by Muhammad Ali to Leslie Bricusse With an Exceptional Archive from Ali's 50th Birthday Celebration at the Wiltern Theatre ALI, Muhammad. SHEED, Wilfrid. Muhammad Ali. A Portrait in Words and Photographs. [New York]: An Alskog Book - Thomas Y. Crowell Company, [1975]. First edition. Large quarto (11 x 9 1/8 inches; 280 x 232 mm.). 255, [1] pp. Profusely illustrated throughout with color and black & white photographs, including numerous iconic images by Neil Leifer. Publisher's imitation red leather, front cover stamped in blind, spine lettered in gilt, pictorial endpapers. A near fine copy in the original color printed dust jacket, slightly chipped at head and foot of spine. Presentation & Inscription: Inscribed by Muhammad Ali on the title-page: "To Leslie / from / Muhammad Ali / Serve God and he will serve you / 3-1-92." A highly characteristic inscription, combining a personal presentation with one of Ali's frequently expressed spiritual maxims, and addressed to the celebrated lyricist Leslie Bricusse. Associated Material: Loosely inserted is a rare and compelling group of original materials from Muhammad Ali's 50th Birthday Celebration, held February 16, 1992 at the Wiltern Theatre, Los Angeles, including: Printed invitation to the event Four admission passes Two used tickets and one unused ticket The inscription, dated March 1, 1992, closely follows the event, strongly suggesting that the volume was signed in direct connection with the celebration. An exceptional association copy, elevated by both its inscription and its accompanying archive. While signed books by Muhammad Ali are not uncommon, examples bearing extended inscriptions in his own moral voice - and tied to a specific historic occasion - are considerably scarcer. The present volume bridges sport, culture, and entertainment: Ali, at the height of his global symbolic stature, inscribing to Leslie Bricusse, one of the most successful lyricists of the modern era. The accompanying birthday materials transform the book into a coherent documentary group, capturing a precise moment in Ali's public life. Visually striking and richly illustrated, the book itself remains one of the most powerful photographic records of Ali's career, further enhancing the desirability of the piece. Near fine in a very good or better dust jacket; inscription bold and legible. The accompanying ephemera well preserved, with expected signs of handling. Provenance: From the library of Leslie Bricusse.

Title: Gardening in India

Condition: Good; some wear to the wrappers.
Description: [Simla, India]: [Army Press], ca1890. First Edition.. Original cloth backed printed wrappers; text block stapled.. Good; some wear to the wrappers.. Large 8vo (appx. 240 x 155 mm), [2], [1] - 9, [10 - blank], [i] - ii, 285, [286 - blank] pp. Unsigned. "The main object of this little manual is to present as far as possible ... all the information and guidance necessary for the successful and profitable cultivation of the flowers, fruit and vegetables worth growing .... Many famous books have been written from time to time on the subject of gardening in India, but from an amateur's point of view the chief drawback in most of these is that they are either too sketchy to be of real practical value to the beginner or, on the other hand, are burdened with a superfluity of technical complexities which though perhaps desirable from a specialist's point of view for the completion and standardisation of such works, more often than not prove confusing and tiresome to the ordinary lover of gardening" (Introduction). The text is laid out in dictionary form with a substantial number of entries that do not relate directly to plants, e.g., "frames and pits" or "garden law". The plant entries bring a good deal of personal commentary from the author. No copy located.
