[Rarebooks] FS: Fine and beautifully bound Inscribed Andrew Carnegie

[Charles Agvent]

CARNEGIE, Andrew ROUND THE WORLD
Scribner New York 1884. First Trade Edition revised from a privately 
printed edition. Bound in 3/4 burgundy morocco by Thomas W. Best with 
five raised bands, top edge gilt, marbled endpapers, gilt spine 
lettering, and the original cloth cover and backstrip bound at the rear. 
The book is dedicated to "my brother and trusty associates, who toiled 
at home that I might spend abroad." With a fine and large INSCRIPTION by 
Carnegie on the dedication page: "Yours for the Brotherhood/of 
Man/Andrew Carnegie/New York/Feby 6th/1901." At the bottom Carnegie has 
added, "For James C. Young Esq/Minneapolis/Minn." Books actually signed 
by Carnegie, as opposed to bearing a statement "from the author," often 
secretarially composed, are quite scarce. This is a particularly nice 
example. Fine        $2500.00
