LaMotta, Jake
        Raging Bull: My Story
      Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice Hall, Inc., 1970 Illustrated with black and white photographs of LaMotta. First edition, first printing. Signed by La Motta on the title page. Publisher's red cloth, spine lettered in gilt; in the original red pictorial dust jacket, illustrated by Murray Olderman, lettered in white and black. Very good or better, with some light wear to the extremities, bright and fresh interior; unclipped dust jacket, with minor wear and rubbing to the extremities, toning to the spine, short closed tear to the top of the front panel, a few faint hints of light soiling to the otherwise fresh panels, else fine. Overall, a clean and pleasing copy. This copy of Raging Bull was inscribed by LaMotta to former owner Joe Pacheco on December 9, 2007, at an MAB Celebrity Services event in Northern New Jersey. Raging Bull: My Story is a memoir by middle-weight boxing champion Jake "The Raging Bull" LaMotta, written with Joseph Carter and Peter Savage. LaMotta traces his affinity for fighting from his early childhood, where, as an Italian-American in the Bronx, he "was taught early that if you wanted to survive you had to be tougher than the next guy." The text chronicles LaMotta's success through the 1940s-1950s, including his 1949 middleweight championship and intense rivalry with Sugar Ray Johnson, and extends through the culmination of his boxing fame. In 1980, Raging Bull was adapted into a film of the same name, directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert DeNiro.. Signed by Author. 1st Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Dust Jacket Included.

      Paris, 1970s - Float mounted and framed together in a black wooden frame. Oil and water on grey paper. Two sheets, each approx: 24 x 32 cm. Each sheet signed as Epfs. Durrell mounted an exhibition as a vehicle for one of his many alter egos, Oscar Epfs in Paris at the Librairie Marthe Nochy in 1970. In terms of pure commerce it was something of a failure: a mere handful of the works were sold. But Durrell apparently revelled in the failure. He was however quite serious about his painting, following Henry Miller in the pursuit, and continued making pictures until his death.
