Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Later Printing. (no dust jacket) [moderate wear to bottom edges and top corners of covers, one-time owner's name on reverse of ffep]. (B&W photographs) Cobb's alleged autobiography, revealed in the ensuing years to have been largely fraudulent from the get-go. The book itself was published a couple of months after his death, and the following year co-author Stump published an expose-type article in the magazine "True," purporting to tell the "true story" behind this "True Record," in which he described the difficulties of the collaboration, and in the process pretty much cemented Cobb's reputation as the meanest s.o.b. to ever set foot on a baseball diamond. He further compounded things some 30-odd years later by publishing yet *another* book about Cobb, in which he doubled down on the negativity (and which in turned served as the basis for the movie COBB, starring Tommy Lee Jones). Problem was, as several later researchers have discovered, that Stump was quite the fabulist, and that many of his claims (such as Cobb's purported deathbed confession of having murdered a man in 1912) were made up and then "authenticated" by forged documents, including Cobb's diaries. The most recent book to try and cut through all this crap and set the record straight is Charles Leerhsen's "Ty Cobb: A Terrible Beauty," which debunks much of the accepted knowledge about Cobb, and largely succeeds in presenting a more balanced and reliable assessment of his complex (but not monstrous) personality.

First Edition
Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Memoir/biography of the baseball great, offering a sympathetic portrait of a sometimes challenging man, widely regarded as Stump's most accurate portrayal of Cobb. Stump spent several weeks with Cobb working on the book, later claiming the book did not tell the truth about Cobb as Stump saw it; Stump's later writings on Cobb, starting with a 1961 magazine article, are regarded as inaccurate, if not fictional, with Stump fabricating sensational incidents to win readers. Hardcover in jacket as pictured, stated first edition (first printing). Light wear to book; minor stains (from a primitive jacket protector, we believe) to endsheets & book; jacket lightly cockled with minor internal stains (from that same protector), $4.50 price intact; now in a modern, safe, unlined protector; faint evidence of erasure to front endsheet. Text clean, no names or other marks; 283 pages; b/w photos. Size: Octavo.
