1960 First Edition copy of 'Wait Till Next Year', Carl T. Rowan author, forward by Jackie Robinson. This book has been signed by both Rowan, and more importantly, Jackie Robinson. You'll see from the images below, the book is in NearMint-Mint condition, almost with an 'untouched' remarkable appearance. It gets better. As we peek inside, the viewer sees a vivid penning from the author Rowan, signed "To Jim Sramek, with best wishes Carl T. Rowan." Then, you come across Jackie's note to the recipient; on a scale of 1-10, this is an 11. Boldly signed in black ballpoint pen "To Jim Sramek...I hope you enjoy Wait Till Next Year Jackie Robinson." With just a few of these books surfacing over the last several years, we can honestly say this is the finest signed example you will see. Only the missing dust-jacket keeps this piece from overall perfection. Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from James Spence Authentication(JSA).
