Our next catalogue, due next week, will feature an outstanding collection of 
Tennessee Williams as well as a smaller collection of Eudora Welty.

The following is accompanied by a photograph of the signing, the recipient being 
an well-respected bookseller.

REAGAN, Ronald.  AN AMERICAN LIFE.  New York: Simon & Schuster
(1990).  First Edition.  INSCRIBED to ----- "With very best wishes" and
SIGNED  by  the former President on 17 December 1990 on the page  with
the publisher's logo preceding the title page.  Books genuinely signed
by  Reagan have become quite scarce and usually turn up with a  signed
bookplate  rather than actually signed in the book, as the case  here.
The  Reagan  Presidential  Library  is  still  selling  copies  with a
bookplate signed by Reagan for $4,000.  One should also be aware  that
the  market has been flooded with fake Reagan signatures in books sold
on  ebay  where  the great majority of "signed"  Ronald  Reagan  books
offered are forgeries.  Fine in Fine dustwrapper.             $2500.00
