Edition.  Folio  (11" x 14") in the original full brown  leather  with
gilt  lettering  on the front cover and the original  pictorial  wraps

the  White  House  on  the  limitation  leaf,  #1069  of  an  unstated
limitation  of 2500 copies, which is often found removed from the book
as  it  makes  a  beautiful display piece. Some  light  and  scattered
foxing.  The  page with FDR's signature is Fine. The binding has  some
edgewear  and  light  wear to the corners with rubbing  to  the  front
cover.  The  spine tips are worn with some erosion to the  bottom  and
areas  of  splitting to the spine edge at the front, though the  cover
is still tight. Still Very Good and increasingly uncommon.    $3500.00
