TAYLOR, Lawrence. LT: Over the Edge. Tackling Quarterbacks, Drugs, and a World Beyond Football. (New York): HarperCollins, (2003). Octavo, original half black cloth, original dust jacket. $175.

First edition of this candid autobiography, signed on the title page by Lawrence Taylor.

"Taylor tells of his life from a small town in Virginia to becoming the most dominant defensive player of all time. Through a record ten straight All-Pro seasons, LT led the New York Giants to two Super Bowl victories, along the way revolutionizing the outside linebacker position. But the bright lights of Giants Stadium were nothing compared to the even brighter lights of New York City, where the King of the NFL held court all night long, fuel by booze, drugs, sex, and his own sense of invincibility." LT: Over the Edge recounts Taylor's descent into a world of drugs and paranoia and his eventually recovery, achieving sobriety after rehab. Written with New York Post columnist Steve Serby.
