[ROOSEVELT,  Franklin  D.].  THE  DEMOCRATIC  BOOK  1936.  First
Edition.  Original full brown leather with gilt lettering on the front
cover  and the original pictorial wraps bound in; 384 pages. SIGNED by
the  President  beneath  a  color  image of the  White  House  on  the
limitation  leaf,  #1860  of an unstated limitation  of  2500  copies,
which  is  often found removed from the book as it makes  a  beautiful
display  piece.  A  very nice example of a  SIGNED  Presidential  book
usually  found  with  significant  wear. Spine tips  and  corners  are
rubbed,  but  there  are  no  chips and no  significant  loss  to  the
leather.  Foxing on verso of plates but not on the text or any  images
with  the signed limitation page being clean and bright on both  sides
with  the exception of some light soiling at the bottom. Very Good and
not easy to find in this condition.                           $4000.00
