Important Added Info: Note that this item has been personally autographed (signed) by BOTH Merian C. Cooper AND Robert Armstrong! Note that both men wrote really cool inscriptions by their signature. It is unusual enough to find both these men's signatures on a single item, and the neat inscriptions make this item all the better! Note that this book was published in 1965, and both of these men passed away in 1973 (one day apart from each other!). Note that this item was consigned to us by an individual who owned a company that made movies and videos with famous celebrities in the 1980s and 1990s. The owner of the company would have the celebrities sign items from their famous films, and he also had correspondence with many famous celebrities which he saved. In addition, he would sometimes ask celebrities he came in contact with if they had signed items from other stars that they would sell to him, and he purchased a number of items that way. He also would purchase unsigned items from the famed Larry Edmunds Bookshop in Los Angeles or from other reputable Hollywood book stores and poster shops (to have the celebrities sign), and while he was doing that he would also purchase some of their signed items. So all of these autographed items we are auctioning were either obtained in person, obtained from celebrities who obtained them in person, or obtained from reputable Hollywood book stores, and we feel certain that the autograph(s) on this item is authentic! Condition: good to very good. There are two diagonal creases in the bottom right of the cover and one light vertical crease down the right side. There are creases and scuffs scattered on the cover and some tiny paper loss around the edges of both covers. Learn More about condition grades
