[Rarebooks] FS: Signed Limited Farewell Address of President Jimmy Carter

[charles agvent]

CARTER, JIMMY. FAREWELL ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER. JANUARY 14, 
1981. [Winston-Salem, NC]: Palaemon Press Limited (December 1981). 
First Edition. Bound in full blue cloth with gilt lettering on the 
spine. Prints Carter's 9-page farewell address on heavy paper. Copy 
#105 of only 300 printed and SIGNED by the former President as "Jimmy 
Carter" on the title page. Half of the edition was reserved for 
Carter; the other half was issued for sale by the publisher. Quite 
possibly the most difficult Carter title to find and a poorly made 
book. Of the half dozen copies we have examined over the years, all 
were loosely stitched in their casings causing the text block to slide 
up and down. This copy is no different. In addition at the bottom 
outside corner of the rear cover is a small hole, @1/8" x 1/4", caused 
by insect damage. We have seen a copy with a slipcase which this does 
not have. Still a most collectible copy of a difficult book. Very Good 
and quite uncommon.  $750
