This book was given by another man, Bob Weaver, to Fairbanks' son, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. (apparently both Landon and Weaver were present, and each gave Fairbanks Jr. a signed book, and on this one, Weaver wrote "To my friend Doug Fairbanks Jr. From Bob Weaver, Nat. Pres. of the A.A.U. 1920 & 1921"! Also note that we have pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads. Condition: good. There is paper loss at the top of the spine and the top 3" of the cover is separated from the spine. Otherwise, the book is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
