Published by Lofthouse Publications, Pontefract, [ca. 1991]., 1991
Seller: Charles Cox Rare Books , Bude, United Kingdom
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 293pp., yellow pictorial laminated wrappers. Crease in upper cover, but a very good copy. Notorious memoir of a violent criminal and, briefly, professional boxer. Sykes was a drunken thug who spent much of his life in prison, but his book is nevertheless the work of a sensitive and intelligent man. Uncommon: COPAC lists just the Bodleian copy; OCLC finds five more in provincial UK libraries. Despite disparate datings (1990, 1991, 1993) this seems to be the sole edition.
