RARE COLLECTOR'S ITEM
Historic copy of They Call It Pacific by legendary AP frontline reporter Clark Lee. This copy is a true First Edition, First Printing issued under the wartime War Production Board guidelines.
Most importantly, it features an authentic, handwritten inscription and signature by Clark Lee on the front flyleaf page: "To Edwin Pryor with best regards, Clark Lee. Albuquerque, March 29, 1943."
Because the book was first published in March 1943, this inscription was hand-signed by Lee within days of the book's initial release, making it an incredible piece of early-war documentation.
