The Doss item is a softcover copy of Desmond Doss In God's Care, published by the College Press in 1998, signed on the title page in black ballpoint by the hero of Hacksaw Ridge, "Desmond T. Doss, C. M. H.," and by his wife and the book's author, "Frances M. Doss." Includes the original mailing envelope for the book, which has been addressed in Doss's own hand.
