This hardcover, first edition book titled "The Only Way I Know How" by Cal Ripken, Jr. is a must-have for any book collector or fan of “The Iron Man, Cal Ripken Jr. or the Baltimore Orioles. The book was hand signed by the author at an author event, in front of me, at the Denver Tattered Cover Bookstore. Literally taken out of a box, from the publisher, taken out of the box handed to the author, signed in front of me and stored. See my other author event signed books in my store. The bookplate has a stain from the author, as he was signing the book, in front of me, something must’ve been on his thumb as he wrote his name and the result is that stain.” Guaranteed to pass any professional grading service! All proceeds go to local homeless and women’s shelters in Colorado. Unread and stored. GORGEOUS, glossy cover. Binding is as tight as it came from the printer. Hardcover Jacket Grade; F Book Grade: F —————————— PLEASE SEE THE BELOW explanation for my grading scale to understand how I assess the quality of my book collection. I use an antiquarian universal, standard grading scale to ensure a clear, accurate description of the book and dust jacket. * New (N): The book is in the same immaculate condition as when it was published. This could be the description for a book that has been kept in a warehouse for years, never shelved, thumbed or even opened yet may still be some years old. •Fine (F) New and Unread with Remarkable Dust Jacket. A Fine book approaches the condition of New, but without it being crisp. * Near Fine (NRF): A few small flaws are present Near Fine (FN): The book may have been opened and has no noticeable flaws. •Very Good (VG): A sound and collectible copy with some visible flaws but no tears - on either binding or paper. Any defects should be noted. •Good (G): A worn book that is perfectly readable but not collectible. Describes the average used worn book that has all pages or leaves present. Any defects should be noted. Please ask any additional questions regarding dust cover jacket, spine condition or page condition BEFORE purchase! I am not a professional grader and strive to evaluate the item according to my 60 years as a rare book collector. All books have been stored in Acid-Free, Anti-Dust, Clear, Mylar Sleeves and out of direct sunlight. I do NOT collect or sell anything that is less than these grades!
