Scarce Martin Luther King, Jr. signed first edition, first printing of ''Stride Toward Freedom: The Montgomery Story'', meeting all the criteria of a desirable signed copy: a bold signature without inscription, a first printing, and housed in original unclipped dust jacket. New York: Harper & Brothers, 1958 with ''H-H'' on copyright page, designating first printing.

King signs the front free endpaper, without inscription, ''Best Wishes / Martin L. King Jr.'' in fine dark blue felt-tip. Book measures 5.75'' x 8.375'' and runs 230pp. With original dust jacket showing $2.95 price. Book is bound in original blue and black publisher's boards with silver lettering. Some chipping, creasing and short closed tears to jacket, in good condition. Minor shelf wear to book, light toning, and discreet ownership signature on pastedown, overall in very good plus condition. Please note that a signed first printing without inscription in lesser condition sold at Heritage in 2021 for $30,000.
