Arthur Ashe's 1974 day planner. Journal was consistently used by Ashe all year to remember appointments at the height of his awe-inspiring career. He published an entire book about the thrilling year of his life playing tennis all over the world between Wimbledon of 1973 and that of 1974, called ''Portrait in Motion'', published by Houghton Mifflin in 1975. Ashe's very concise, utilitarian entries serve as reminders for his various engagements of this whirlwind year, including global travel and reminders to ''Rest'' and ''Order Clothes For Wimbledon'', also ''CBS TV Classic'', ''World Cup'', ''Wimbledon'', ''ATP Board meeting'' and ''Davis Cup''. Notations in Ashe's hand appear on most pages of the spiral-bound Day-At-A-Glance book. Features a black faux-leather soft cover. Measures 5.75'' x 8.25''. In very good condition, with mild wear to edges. With an LOA from Arthur Ashe's widow. A personal record of each significant day in one of the tennis legend's greatest years.
