SIGNED W. P. (Bill) Kinsella "Box Socials" First Edition Hardcover

Signed copy of Box Socials. This does not have a CoA, but does have a sticker on the front noting it is an autographed copy. It was likely signed during a book signing tour in Seattle or Bellevue, and the bookstore sold it after the event. Kinsella died in 2016 and is best known for his short story "Shoeless Joe" which was made into the movie "Field of Dreams". Great condition and in a dust jacket with protective cover.

Here's the story of how Truckbox Al McClintock, a small-town greaser whose claim to fame was hitting a baseball clean across the Pembina River, almost got a tryout with the genuine St. Louis Cardinals -- but instead ended up batting against Bob Feller of Cleveland Indian Fame in Renfrew Park, Edmonton, Alberta.
