The New York Mets: Twenty-Five Years of Baseball Magic by Jack Lang and Peter Simon. Published by Henry Holt and Company in 1986. Confirmed first edition and first printing. The copyright page states “First Edition,” and the complete number line ends in 1. Hardcover ISBN: 0-03-007547-5. This copy contains a handwritten inscription apparently signed by coauthor and longtime baseball writer Jack Lang: “To Bill Madden: A good friend and a fine baseball writer. Best, Jack Lang.” The inscription is dated July 1986 and appears to have been addressed to noted New York sportswriter Bill Madden. The signature has not been professionally authenticated and is being offered exactly as shown. Pre-owned vintage condition. The dust jacket has noticeable age and storage wear, including scuffs, discoloration, edge and corner wear, creasing, tears, and taped repairs. The hardcover and pages may show additional minor wear consistent with age. Please examine all photographs carefully for the exact condition, copyright information, inscription, and signature. You will receive the actual signed first-edition, first-printing book pictured.
