 From our recent Internet Catalogue posted on our website:

It contains 39 Signed Presidential Books and Pamphlets including items 
by John Quincy Adams, James Buchanan, Grover Cleveland, Teddy Roosevelt, 
and more.

REAGAN,  Ronald.  AN AMERICAN LIFE. New York:  Simon  &  Schuster
(1990).  First  Edition.  Reagan's   autobiography,  illustrated  with
photographs.  This  copy INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the former  President
on  the  page with the publisher's logo preceding the title page:  "To
Mr.  & Mrs. Philip ---/(Parents of a wonderful daughter-Suzanne.)/With
Very  Best  Wishes  &   Regards./Ronald  Reagan/Dec.  12/1990."  Books
genuinely  signed  by this popular President 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 signed bookplate  for  $4,000.  One
should  also  be  aware  that the market has been  flooded  with  fake
Reagan  signatures  in books sold on ebay where "signed"  often  means
forged.  Small adhesive skim mark on front free endpaper from  removal
of address label. About Fine in a Fine dustwrapper.           $2500.00
