[Charles Agvent]

HOOVER, Herbert. THE NEW DAY. CAMPAIGN SPEECHES OF HERBERT  HOOVER
1928.  Stanford  University: Stanford University Press (1929).  Second
Edition.  SIGNED  by Hoover as President on the front  free  endpaper.
Enclosed  is  the original mailing label from the White House as  well
as  an  envelope  and letter from Hoover's  secretary  forwarding  the
book.  Decorative leather bookplate of Harry J. Sonneborn on the front
pastedown.  Most  of  Sonneborn's   impressive  Americana  collection,
including  a  number  of  books  signed by  Presidents,  was  sold  by
Sotheby's  in 1980. Tape shadows on both pastedowns and endpapers, not
affecting  the  signature. An uncommon book, especially  when  signed.
Books  signed  by  Hoover  as President are much  scarcer  than  those
signed  after  he  left  office.   Near  Fine,  lacking  the  uncommon
dustwrapper.                                                   $500.00
