Item description from seller

8vo. Black cloth with yellow lettering. xx, 275pp. Illustrations, line drawings. Very good. Faint binding wear, with minor smudging to page edges. Tight and nice first edition of this hands-on how-to -- and with unique autograph twist: Tipped to front flyleaf is a fine, heavy stock 5" X 3" card signed by one of Bible's star players from his final (1946) season as University of Texas's head football coach, the year just prior to this book's publication: Hubert "Hub" Bechtol signs large and bold in black fineline, penning "University of Texas / Football 1944-45-46" beneath and dating it 1 August 1980 at upper right; interestingly, Bible died just about nine months before Bechtol signed this. Bechtol (1926-2004) played end for these three seasons; in 1991 he was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame. Bible (1891-1980) was the renowned head football coach of Louisiana State University and Texas; elected in 1951 to the College Football Hall of Fame. Laid in is the ideal bookmark: Bechtol's original transmittal envelope. Outstandingly unusual copy.
