Signed book: Strength to Love. First edition, first printing. NY: Harper & Row, 1963. Hardcover with dustjacket, 5.75 x 8.5, 146 pages. Signed in ballpoint on the half-title page “Best wishes, Martin Luther King, Jr.,” and on the front free end page, “Jackie Robinson” and [NAACP head] “Roy Wilkins.” In very good condition, with previous owners’ ink notations to Robinson page (including “9-8-63, inscribed at the home of Jackie Robinson,” and a spurious King signature), bookplate to each pastedown (rear pastedown with additional notation), mild scattered soiling, and rubbing and light edge wear to price-clipped jacket. King’s signature is large and clear, and the page bearing his signature is unaffected by any faults. A most unusual and significant combination! Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
