[JOHNSON, Lyndon B.] AIKMAN, Lonnelle. THE LIVING WHITE HOUSE.
Washington: White House Historical Assoc (1966). First Edition. Bound
in full dark green leather with gilt rules on the front cover and
gilt lettering on the spine. Illustrated with drawings and color
photographs. Foreword by Lady Bird Johnson with an introduction by
Bruce Catton. One of an edition of only 100 copies specially bound,
this numbered "87" in pencil in the upper right corner of the
limitation page. Although not called for, this copy is INSCRIBED and
SIGNED by the President on the limitation page: "To Betty/Who like
some other things/gets better with the years./Happy
Birthday/Affectionately/Lyndon B. Johnson." The recipient's last name
has been roughly erased and the inscription, though not Johnson's
signature, has had the ink smeared though it is easily readable.
Spine tips a little rubbed but no other wear. The smallest limitation
of any book associated with Johnson that we have encountered. Very
Good and scarce. $1500.00
