SPRINGSTEEN, Bruce. Born to Run (Signed First Edition by Bruce Springsteen)

London: Simon & Schuster UK Ltd., 2016. First edition. Large octavo. pp. xii, 510, [4], [16 (Coloured & b/w plates)]. Publisher’s black boards, spine lettered in silver; photographic dust-jacket featuring Frank Stefanko’s iconic portrait of the young Springsteen.  Signed by “The Boss”. A bold, full-page autograph signature by Bruce Springsteen in black marker on the titlepage. Light age-toning to edges, as often with this edition; dust-jacket exceptionally clean and fresh. A near fine copy.
Bruce Springsteen’s landmark autobiography, written over seven years with the same narrative craftsmanship he brought to Darkness on the Edge of Town and Born to Run. The memoir became an immediate bestseller on publication in 2016 and is widely regarded as one of the finest autobiographies by a contemporary musician. Signed trade copies (distinct from the publisher-issued signed limited edition) are now increasingly uncommon in collectible condition.
