[Charles Agvent]

One of 35 or so select items on our Spring New York Book Fair list to be 
published on our home page early next week. Included will be exceptional 
signed items, lovely hand-colored plate books, and early printed and 
unusual pieces.  They will be among the hundreds of fine items that will 
be on display in our booth E-24 at the show which runs from Friday 
through Sunday, April 8 - 11, at the Park Avenue Armory at 67th St. Hope 
to see you there.

ROOSEVELT, Eleanor. INDIA AND THE AWAKENING EAST. New York: Harper & 
Brothers, (1953). First Edition. Illustrated with photographs. SIGNED 
and INSCRIBED by the author and former First Lady on the half-title 
page: "To dear Joe + Trudi/with love/--Eleanor Roosevelt." This title is 
not often seen inscribed. Roosevelt inscribed books to people using just 
their first names only when she knew them well. In this case it is to 
none other than Joseph Lash and his wife. Lash won the Pulitzer Prize 
for ELEANOR AND FRANKLIN, one of several books he wrote about the 
Roosevelts. Near Fine in a Very Good dustwrapper with a faded spine.
