"JUST LIVING LIFE REAL LOUD": FIRST EDITION, SIGNED BY JERRY LEE LEWIS
LEWIS, Jerry Lee [with] BRAGG, Rick. Jerry Lee Lewis: His Own Story. (New York): HarperCollins, (2014). Octavo, original white and black paper boards, original dust jacket, photographic endpapers. $450.
First edition of the legendary rocker's autobiography, signed by Lewis on a publisher's tipped-in leaf.
One of Rolling Stone's 10 Best Music Books of 2014, this autobiography is "quite simply one of the best books about rock and roll ever. Jerry Lee's story is impossibly fascinating, of course. But co-author Rick Bragg has turned it into literature, fitting in somewhere between William Faulkner and Jim Thompson, perhaps… He's captured the era, the South, and the early days of the music and made them all sing" (Vintage Guitar Magazine). Publisher's stated specially bound and signed first edition. Illustrated with 32 pages of color and black-and-white photographs.
Book and dust jacket with traces of wear to spine extremities and one lower corner, jacket with signed copy sticker on front panel. A very nearly fine signed copy, uncommon with Lewis's signature rather than Bragg's.
