[Rarebooks] FS: Jimmy Carter's Farewell Address, #105 of 300 Signed

[Charles Agvent]

CARTER, Jimmy. FAREWELL ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER. JANUARY
14,  1981.  [Winston-Salem,  NC]:  Palaemon  Press  Limited  (December
1981).  First Edition. Bound in full blue cloth with gilt lettering on
the  spine.  Prints Carter's 9-page farewell address on  heavy  paper.
Copy  #105  of only 300 printed and SIGNED by the former President  as
"Jimmy  Carter"  on the title page. Half of the edition  was  reserved
for  Carter;  the  other half was issued for sale  by  the  publisher.
Quite  possibly  the most difficult Carter title to find and a  poorly
made  book. Of the half dozen copies we have examined over the  years,
all  were loosely stitched in their casings causing the text block  to
slide  up  and  down. This copy is no different. In  addition  at  the
bottom outside corner of the rear cover is a small hole, @1/8" x 1/4",
caused  by  insect  damage. It seems that not all copies  were  issued
with  a  slipcase;  in any case this copy does not have  one.  Still a
most  collectible  copy of a difficult book to locate. Very  Good  and
quite uncommon.                                                $750.00
