Nixon signs a book for his 'biggest' supporter, Wilt Chamberlain

Signed book: The Real War. First edition. NY: Warner Books, 1980. Hardcover with dust jacket, 6.25 x 9.25, 341 pages. Signed and inscribed in blue ink on a bookplate affixed to the half-title page, "Richard Nixon, for Wilt Chamberlain." In fine condition, with some light toning and wear to the dust jacket. Accompanied by a glossy photo of Nixon and Chamberlain in conversation.
