[JOHNSON, Lyndon B.] MAGUIRE, Jack. A PRESIDENT'S COUNTRY: A GUIDE TO 
THE HILL COUNTRY OF TEXAS. Austin: The Alcalde Press, (1964). First 
Edition. One of a very small but unkown number of copies bound in full 
red leather with a gilt decoration of a saddle on the front cover and 
gilt lettering on the spine. Illustrated with drawings by Mac Tatchell 
and photographs; 80 pages. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the President on the 
title page: "To Dorothy Nichols/with love--/Lyndon B. Johnson." Dorothy 
Nichols was a personal secretary and assistant to Johnson from the time 
he was a freshman congressman until the end of his presidency. She was 
the first female assistant Johnson hired. They were so close that 
Johnson gave her away at her wedding and included her in his will. Books 
genuinely signed by LBJ are quite scarce, and most of those are copies 
of THE VANTAGE POINT, usually signed on a bookplate and sometimes on a 
tipped-in page as issued by The First Edition Circle. Association 
copies, such as this, are extremely difficult to come by. Corners with 
gold-plated protectors added. Rubbing of leather at the head of the 
spine. Very Good or better and quite scarce in this presentation 
binding.         $1,500.00
