RICHARDS, Keith. Life (Signed first edition)

London: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2010. First edition. Thick octavo. pp. 564. Publisher’s black cloth, lettered in silver to spine, in original pictorial dust jacket. A very good to near fine copy, the jacket showing light wear at head of spine and edges; internally clean and well preserved.

Signed by Keith Richards in bold black marker to the title page. Together with PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator) Quick Opinion letter, confirming the autograph is consistent with known examples and likely to pass full authentication.

The acclaimed autobiography of Keith Richards, founding member of The Rolling Stones, widely regarded as one of the most influential guitarists in rock history. Life offers a candid and vividly written account of Richards’s early years, the formation of the Stones, the excesses of fame, and his enduring musical partnership with Mick Jagger.

This example is enhanced by a clear, full signature on the title page—far preferable to tipped-in or bookplate examples—and further supported by third-party authentication from PSA, providing reassurance in a market where modern music autographs are frequently scrutinised.

Signed copies of Life are widely collected, though condition and authentication are decisive. Copies with PSA or equivalent verification consistently achieve stronger prices, particularly where the signature is large and well-positioned, as here.
