Billy Sunday biography signed. The pro baseball player-turned evangelical preacher signs the front free endpaper: ''W. A. Sunday'' and adds beneath: ''Psalm 34''. Other signatures accompany Sunday's, including Homer Hammontree, Homer Rodeheaver, Bob Matthews and a prior owner's name. Sunday's powerful preaching is credited with bolstering public support for prohibition and the resulting 18th amendment. Book runs 288pp. Bound in terra cotta cloth boards with black lettering and design in a green dustjacket. Measures 5.5'' x 7.75''. Very good with light wear. Dustjacket is fair to good, with rear cover detached from the backstrip, overall shelf wear, surface loss to the hinges and tears along top edge.
