About this copy
This is the first edition, first printing of this early autobiographical account by David Gower, written with journalist Alan Lee. The copyright page states 'First published in Great Britain in 1980 by Ward Lock Limited' with no subsequent printings noted. Illustrated throughout with photographs by Adrian Murrell/All Sport and Patrick Eagar, including images from the 1979/80 Australian tour and Gower's double century against India at Edgbaston in July 1979.
Hardback in green cloth boards with the original pictorial dust jacket, which features a colour photograph of Gower batting on the front panel and back panel.
