Item description from seller

Large octavo, 182pp., illustrated. Written with Alan LeMond, with photographs by Neil Leifer. An amusing copy, with several cut-out pictures of a fit and handsome Mark Spitz pasted to the front and rear endpapers, taken from newspapers and magazines. Also SIGNED by Spitz, and inscribed "To Jimmy," on the front free endpaper. Laid-in at rear is a cut-out advertisement from Playgirl magazine (neatly detached and in two pieces), for Schick razors, depicting a nearly naked Spitz, shaving his legs--presumably in advance of a swim meet. Apart from noted alterations to the book, a very good copy in like dust jacket, somewhat sunned with mild edgewear. Certainly the copy of a young gay man who had the hots for Mark Spitz, and was lucky enough to get his autograph.

Store description

As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.…
