The card covers in blue and brown have a cut out of the band members on the front and a photo of a young Roddy Doyle on the rear with a bespectacled King Farouk logo drawing. The book is not price clipped and includes the price on the rear cover. The book was made into a memorable film by Alan Parker in 1991 and has also been turned into a very successful musical. This pristine book is the original edition from the first print run in 1987 and was signed by Roddy to Carolin, one of his original muses from the theatre, who first inspired him to write in the Barrytown venacular. Clear removable archival film protects the pristine card covers. Signed by Author(s).

Libro Prima edizione Copia autografata
First edition, first impression, inscribed by the author; 8vo; unmarked internally; publisher's pictorial wrappers, minor creasing close to spine, else near-fine. First edition of the author's first book, self-published after numerous rejections from commercial publishers. Although 3,000 copies were printed, only 800 were sold. However, following the highly successful eponymous film adaptation in 1991, directed by Alan Parker, it attracted a cult status in telling the story of Jimmy Rabbitte, a young music fanatic who assembles a group of working-class youths to form a soul band named 'The Commitments'. With the author's signed presentation inscription to the half-title, 'To Ferdia, Roddy Doyle. 12/1/91.' The recipient was the Irish author Ferdia Mac Anna.
