Description
New York: G. P. Putnam’s Sons, 1989 Two volumes. Compiled and edited by Richard Whittingham. Introduction and commentaries by Joe DiMaggio. First edition, first printing. Signed by DiMaggio in blue marker on DiMaggio frontispiece in Vol. I, with a Beckett authentication sticker. Publisher's blue cloth with titles in gilt to spines, red, white, and blue marbled endpapers, set designed by Susan Kinealy; housed in publisher's red slipcase with DiMaggio photo to front panel, and gilt lettering to front panel and spine. Fine set; about fine slipcase, with a touch of rubbing to spine, and a couple of very light marks to rear panel. Overall, a fantastic two-volume set. FROM B&B: The DiMaggio Albums traces DiMaggio's life from the minor leagues to his major league retirement with a variety of unique archival materials, including news clippings, photos, posters, and more. DiMaggio played all thirteen seasons of his career with the New York Yankees and was selected as an All-Star thirteen times. With his exemplary hitting and fielding (he was nicknamed "The Yankee Clipper" because of how he sailed around the outfield) he helped power the Yankees to nine World Series titles. He holds the record for the longest hitting streak, at 56 games, which is considered one of the most statistically remarkable records in all of sports. Outside of baseball, he was known for his high-profile marriage with Marilyn Monroe. DiMaggio was one of the rare athletes that transcended his sport: his association with a bygone era of America was noted in Simon and Garfunkel's Grammy Award-winning song, "Mrs. Robinson." Ted Williams said, "His career cannot be summed up in numbers and awards. It might sound corny, but he had a profound impact on the country.". Signed. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine.

Description
1935. Cloth on boards. String tie. Good. Bright, vivid and fantastical illustrations from Japanese folklore, Samurai legend, martial and equine traditions, and other patriotic-tinged stories. Showa 10, or 1935. Oblong, 18 by 38 cm. 60 color plates, with text captions generally in a narrow column on one side. The imagery jumps off the page, with not a few of the illustrations having the illusion of real dimensionality. The color adds to the electricity of the scenes depicted. A few of the plates have crayon scribbles or writing. The cloth on the boards is heavily soiled, and the string tie binding has some looseness, as might be expected from the extreme oblong shape. Fabric mostly perished on the spine.
