ROOSEVELT, Eleanor. [THIS I REMEMBER] IK HERINNER MIJ. Amsterdam:
Uitgeverij  Keesing (1950). First Edition. Dutch translation of THIS I
REMEMBER  published  a  year after the original  edition  in  English.
Illustrated  with  photographs.  This  is copy #95 of  only  150  of a
special  edition  SIGNED by the author on the limitation  page.  These
autographed  copies  were sold with a surcharge  of  twelve-and-a-half
Dutch  florins (= four dollars in the year 1950) intended for Princess
Wilhelmina's  Royal Welfare Fund. Cloth is bright but has a small area
at  the  head of the spine where it is rubbed through to  the  boards.
The  dustwrapper  closely resembles the original but with  Dutch  copy
and  a  blank  rear panel. It is also bright with  some  edgewear  and
chipping,  the largest corresponding to the rubbed spot at the head of
the  spine.  Perhaps  the smallest limitation of  any  signed  Eleanor
Roosevelt  book and certainly one of the most unusual. Still Good in a
Good dustwrapper and quite uncommon.                          $1000.00
