[Rarebooks] FS: Pre-Bailout Capitalism: Signed Andrew Carnegie: "Yours for the Brotherhood of Man"

[Charles Agvent]

CARNEGIE, Andrew. ROUND THE WORLD. New York: Scribner 1884.  First
Edition.  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  SIGNED
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
