Description: This personally autographed copy of the first edition of "Roots" by Alex Haley is a rare find for any book collector or enthusiast. The hardcover format, measuring 8.6 inches in length, 5.8 inches in width, and 2 inches in height, is inscribed with the author's signature and features 587 pages of captivating storytelling. Published in 1976 by Doubleday Publishing Group, this limited edition autographed book is a must-have for those interested in cultural heritage and ethnic studies, particularly those focusing on African American studies. The book's topic, history, is explored in great depth through vivid storytelling and impeccable research. This original copy is a valuable addition to any book collection. Backstory: I worked at Doubleday when Roots first edition was published. Alex Hailey came in to thank employees and personally autographed each copy. The first edition book was first published before the dust cover was printed. And pages were 587 when later issues had over 700 pages. The book is in fair to good condition besides wear and tear over years on the hard binding. Pages are clean and intact. Selling my personal copy regrettably due to unforeseen difficulties. See photos for details. Sold as is.
