Baez, Joan. (b. 1941). Daybreak - SIGNED. New York: Dial Press. 1968. First Printing.
Inscribed and signed on front endsheet, "I just re-read this little book and liked it very much! I don't think I have a copy left, so thanks. Love, Joan Baez." 8vo. (8 x 5.375 x .75 inches). 159 pp. Green cloth, unclipped dust jacket. Jacket somewhat worn at spine ends, else fine.
An interesting inscription in a fine copy of Baez's early autobiography, written in 1968 and dedicated to young war resistors in prison. In poetic prose, she talks about the people, experiences, ideas and ideals that have shaped her life, including a good look at herself as a young girl growing up with her fears; a glowing tribute to her mother; an analysis of her father and of her relationship with him; and brief glimpses of Ira, her spiritual mentor, of Richard Farina...and of David, her husband, who faces a jail term for refusing military service. Her compassion, honesty and sincerity come through here loud and clear.
