This is the Jewel in the Crown for any Rugby collector. This is the Hard Hitting Autobiography of Francois Pienaar hand signed by Nelson Mandela on the Forward page.One of the finest images in the world is from the Rugby World Cup 1995 when Nelson Mandela, wearing the number six Springbok shirt, the shirt of the South African Captain Francois Pienaar, presents the World Cup to Pienaar himself. The film "Invictus" telling this story, directed by Clint Eastwood with a host of A list actors in the title rolls, was released early in 2010 to great acclaim. This really is a very scarce book and a fantastic read. In years to come this will be a fantastic investment for any collector. Beautifully bound in Full Green Morocco Leather with a hand made leather rugby ball and South African Flag laid into the front board. The book is housed in a matching hand made slip case - truly beautiful.
