signed first edition Hardcover
1914 · New York
by ROOSEVELT, Theodore (Teddy)
New York: The Macmillan Company, 1914. First Edition. Hardcover. Text marginally dampstained to varying degrees throughout resulting in waviness; hinges strengthened with minor repairs to spine tips, all professionally done; rubbing to the portrait at center of front cover with some loss. Overall Very Good. Decorated blue cloth. Illustrated with photographs. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the front free endpaper "To James W. Barrett/in memory of the suit!/from/Theodore Roosevelt/May 3d 1915." Roosevelt originally wrote April and crossed it out. Most signed copies of this title that we have seen have been the second printing, which is slightly smaller in format than this, the true first and none that we have seen have had such a cryptic inscription!
