[Rarebooks] FS: Signed Limited Jimmy Carter: FAREWELL ADDRESS, #105 of 300

[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
