[Charles Agvent]

 From our catalogue of primarily SIGNED PRESIDENTIAL material posted on our 
website: http://www.erols.com/agvent.  Also included are important signed and 
association copies of Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Lyndon B. Johnson, and 
Theodore Roosevelt.

ROOSEVELT,  Theodore  (Teddy).  THE   COMPLETE  WRITINGS  OF  THEODORE
ROOSEVELT  (THE WORKS OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT). Philadelphia: Gebbie and
Company  1902-1903.  Royal Edition. Sixteen octavo (5-3/4"  x  8-1/2")
bound  in 3/4 dark blue morocco with gilt rules and decorated  spines,
comprising  the Royal Edition of Roosevelt's works, this being set #95
of  650. This may or may not be a complete set as we have seen similar
"Uniform  Edition" sets issued in both 16 and 22 volumes. Present here
are  THE  WILDERNESS  HUNTER in two volumes, AMERICAN  IDEALS  in  two
volumes,  THE  WINNING OF THE WEST in six volumes, RANCH LIFE AND  THE
HUNTING-TRAIL,  HERO  TALES FROM AMERICAN HISTORY, HUNTING TRIPS  OF A
RANCHMAN  in  two volumes, THE ROUGH RIDERS, and THE  STRENUOUS  LIFE.
The  last two titles have rather serious damage with the lower  corner
of  the  rear cover and the very bottom tips of all the pages  chewed,
the  front joint repaired, and the spine a bit dulled on THE STRENUOUS
LIFE;  THE ROUGH RIDERS has marginal dampstaining with a fairly  large
portion  of the top of the front cover deteriorated exposing the board
underneath  the  leather  and paper. The remaining volumes  show  only
light  shelfwear and rubbing. Still a Very Good set, quite  attractive
on the shelf.                                                 $2500.00
