Stated 'First Edition: October 2010.' Also Number Line to 1. Flat-signed and dated on the second front end paper by Keith Richards (see photo). Both the book and the dust jacket are in excellent shape. You can see the covers of the book in the photos. They are exceptionally clean. The silver lettering on the front and spine is nicely bright. There is the slightest bit of crinkling at the bottom edge of the spine. The cover edges are in terrific shape, no rubbing at all. That is exactly the case with the four corners. The page edges are exceptionally clean. The book is square and the spine is straight. The binding is very solid from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The interior of the book is in terrific condition. The purple inside covers and end papers are perfectly clean and free of any wear. The same can be said for all of the pages in the book. Scrolling through, I'm not finding any instances of soiling. I'm not finding any creasing. There are no markings. No attachments of any kind. And Keith Richards signature represents the only writing to be found anywhere in the book. There are a number of photographs in both black and white and color. They all appear to be in perfect condition. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. I have had the jacket in a fitted protective cover for as long as I have owned it, which goes back a number of years. The jacket is exceptionally clean. I don't see any soiling. I don't see any toning or fading. There are no tears. The flaps are in excellent condition as well, perfectly clean. I don't see any wear on them, no creasing. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. I don't like to use 'Fine' as a rating because it implies to me perfection. I think some other sellers would be willing to call this book and jacket 'Fine'. Neither has any condition issues that I can see. 'The book was generally well received by critics, with several commenting on the honesty of the work. Charles Spencer of The Daily Telegraph wrote, 'Life offers much more than vicarious thrills. It captures the true spirit of rock and roll, the nitty-gritty of life on the road, and just what it feels like to be a heroin addict who doesn't know where his next fix is coming from. It also movingly captures Richards' extraordinary love of music--an even more powerful addiction for him than smack--and perhaps more surprisingly, his manifest destiny as a human being.' Jim Fusilli of the Wall Street Journal said that 'Mr. Richards writes with disarming introspection about his childhood, family and fame. And it's quite likely that no rock musician has ever written so keenly about the joys of making music. With a warm sense of humor and willingness to share his grief, Mr. Richards in 'Life' defies almost every public perception about him.' In The Independent, John Walsh wrote, 'He tells it with complete, reckless, disclosure. Sometimes it sounds like a man ranting into a tape machine; sometimes, in the tidier and more reflective sections, you can detect the hand of his co-writer, James (White Mischief) Fox. But the watchwords of this book are honesty, confession, telling it straight.' From the New Yorker: 'Half book, half brand extension, it's an entertaining, rambling monologue, a slurry romp through the life of a man who knew every pleasure, denied himself nothing, and never paid the price.' The New York Times said, 'Mr. Richards, now 66, writes with uncommon candor and immediacy. He's decided that he's going to tell it as he remembers it, and helped along with notebooks, letters and a diary he once kept, he remembers almost everything.' 'The popular press focused on the relationship between Jagger and Richards. Tom Bryant in The Daily Mirror wrote, 'Keith says his songwriting partner 'started to become unbearable' in the early 80s, adding: 'I think Mick thinks I belong to him but I haven't been to his dressing room in 20 years.'.…

With The Rolling Stones, Keith Richards created the songs that roused the world, and he lived the original rock and roll life.
Now, at last, the man himself tells his story of life in the crossfire hurricane. Listening obsessively to Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records, learning guitar and forming a band with Mick Jagger and Brian Jones. The Rolling Stones's first fame and the notorious drug busts that led to his enduring image as an outlaw folk hero. Creating immortal riffs like the ones in "Jumping Jack Flash" and "Honky Tonk Women." His relationship with Anita Pallenberg and the death of Brian Jones. Tax exile in France, wildfire tours of the U.S., isolation and addiction. Falling in love with Patti Hansen. Estrangement from Jagger and subsequent reconciliation. Marriage, family, solo albums and Xpensive Winos, and the road that goes on forever.
With his trademark disarming honesty, Keith Richard brings us the story of a life we have all longed to know more of, unfettered, fearless, and true.

Description de la boutique
Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…
