Let's Play Hockey! PATRICK, LYNN, and MONAHAN, LEO
Macmillan, Toronto, 1957. Original Wraps. Book Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. [i-vi], 79, [80-82]. With slight wear on edges and minor spine creasing.
Signed by 19 members of the Montreal Canadiens, then Stanley Cup Champions in the midst of a 5-year winning streak (a record that stands to this day). The last three pages were designed for autographs, and were signed by most of the team members with the same ball-point pen, excepting Bernard 'Boom Boom' Geoffrion. Goalie Jacques Plante's autograph is notably uncommon, due to his early death. Team signatures are followed by those of coach Toe Blake and trainer Hector Dutord: The latter's family owned this rare and desirable item for a number of years. Signed by Athletes.
