Love him or hate him (and there are plenty of people in both categories) there's no disputing that despite violent competitors, law enforcement vendettas, prison terms, exile, life as a fugitive - his enemies could never defeat him; he grabbed the gold ring and got away clean with the swag. It's a great story, told in his own highly expressive style."---, any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo /// SIGNED ---GUARANTEED to be AVAILABLE/// ---sizes are approximate (generally within 1/8 inch)---
