The Gentle Giant: the Autobiography of Yusef Lateef [Inscribed Copy]
Irvington, NJ: Morton Books, 2005. First Edition. Inscribed by Lateef on title page: "To Brother Roberto / In Peace, Sincerely, Bro. Yusef Lateef." Undated, but apparently contemporary with publication. Octavo. Pictorial card wrappers; 355pp. Tight, fine, textually unmarked copy.
Lateef was well into his 80's when this title was published, and inscribed copies are uncommon. The recipient was Afro-Caribbean literary scholar, poet and editor Roberto Marquez, long-time professor at Mount Holyoke University.
