HERE I STAND

Second impression of the first UK edition. Signed by Paul Robeson. Publisher's original burgundy cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth with some fading of the spine and dulling of the gilt. The contents, with a previous owner's bookplate to the blank front endpaper, a retailer's stamp to the bottom of the title page and some spotting to the prelims are otherwise clean throughout. Complete with the rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that is toned to the spine and edges of the lower panel but without loss or large tears. Not price-clipped (10s 6d net to the front flap).

Inscribed by the author in blue ink on the title page "Best wishes / Paul Robeson". The multi-talented musician, actor, professional sportsman and civil rights activist's "manifesto-autobiography".
