Ian Roberts' Finding Out is the 1997 hardcover biography that charts the rugby league legend's journey from tough Australian locker rooms to becoming one of the country's first high-profile athletes to come out as gay. Illustrated and wrapped in a crisp dust jacket, this 325-page memoir blends sport, culture and sexuality in a candid narrative that still resonates with young adults and older readers alike.

The book is in very good condition: no dog-eared pages, square and tight binding, ready for immediate shelving or gifting. A clean copy like this is increasingly scarce, especially with the added desirability of the author's signature on the title page.

Collectors of gay biography, AFL/NRL history, or 1990s Australian culture will appreciate both the physical state and the subject matter. Roberts' story of self-esteem and motivation remains a touchstone for coming-out literature, making this signed first edition a conversation-worthy addition to any sports or queer-studies shelf.
