Warmly inscribed to John Weller with a substantial handwritten message expressing “deepest gratitude and admiration.” John Weller was later documented by Hillenbrand as a World War II B-24 navigator source whose firsthand accounts contributed to her later acclaimed work Unbroken, making this a compelling and highly unusual Hillenbrand association copy. 2001 Random House hardcover edition. This copy also features unusual early-printing characteristics, including non-standard publication coding and the absence of the more typical retail first-printing line/edition statement commonly seen on major trade hardcovers of the era. An especially interesting example for collectors of modern literary nonfiction, association copies, and Hillenbrand material. Hardcover with dust jacket. ISBN: 0-375-50291-2 Printed in U.S.A. 3/01 A landmark work of American sports history and literary nonfiction that later inspired the acclaimed film adaptation. Excellent crossover collectible appeal for: • Laura Hillenbrand collectors • association copy collectors • WWII and aviation history collectors • horse racing and Americana collectors • literary nonfiction enthusiasts • fans of Unbroken Good to very good pre-owned condition with normal shelf and handling wear. Please review all photos carefully for exact condition, inscription, and publication details.
