Neat collection of signed book is highlighted by deceased HOFer Jacques Plante's signed 1972 soft cover book "Goaltending". The first inside page features a blue ink pen dedicated signature which reads "Feb 23/73, to David best wishes, Jacques Plante". The signature is nice and bold and could easily be cut-out without the dedication to make a nice signed cut. The front and back covers of the 8 ½" x 11" book exhibit some creases but overall the book remains in good condition. Ken Dryden’s blue ballpoint signature appears on the title page of his 1995 hardcover book "In School, Our Kids, Our Teachers, Our Classrooms" and the dedicated autograph "To Pamela and Ryan, for your future, Ken Dryden" is nice and clean. The dustjacket exhibits lots of wear with the book itself in excellent condition. Next is the 1980 large hardcover book "The Montreal Canadiens, a Hockey Dynasty". The 9" x 11 ½" book is signed on the dustjacket by Guy Lafleur in black marker while the title page inside is signed by fellow HOFer Larry Robinson in fine black marker which also features a dedicated signature of the author Claude Mouton. The dustjacket has some folding marks and small spots of wear but overall is clean and the book is in excellent condition. Also included are; 1997 "History of Hockey" signed inside by author Brian McFarlane (9" x 11" hardcover book – some wear to the dustjacket); 1997 "Over the Glass & Into the Crowd! Life After Hockey" signed inside by author Brian McFalone (8 ½" x 11" softcover book – has some wear/damage to the covers); 1988 "Calling the Shots" signed by former NHL referee Bruce Hood on the dustjacket (6" x "9 hardcover book – signature is slightly worn-off with some scuffing/wear to the dustjacket and some handwriting on the first inside page); 1989 "Pal Hal" signed by author Dick Beddoes on the first inside page with a lengthy text (6" x "9 hardcover book – dustjacket has some folds/tears). Lastly a pair of non-hockey books includes 1990 "Rufus baby" signed with a dedication by former NFLer/CFLer Rufus Crawford on the first inside page (5 ½" x 8 ½" softcover book – some wear/defects to the front and back covers) and 1991 "Kelly, at Home on Third" signed by Kelly Grueber and Kevin Bolland in blue ink pen inside of the book (5 ¾" x 8 ¾" hardcover book – some damage to the dust jacket – inscription by former owner on first inside page).
