London, Secker & Warburg, (2000). The first British edition, and reportedly the true first of the author's acclaimed first book of fiction, published pseudonymously when he was 70 years old. Contains the story "Million $$$ Baby," basis for the award-winning Clint Eastwood film. F.X. Toole was a pseudonym for Jerry Boyd, a longtime boxing trainer, and this book has been called by some the best boxing fiction ever published. Signed by the author. Fine in wrappers; there was no hardcover edition in the U.K. Quite scarce signed. [#914691] SOLD
