[Charles Agvent]

ROOSEVELT, Eleanor. THIS TROUBLED WORLD. New York: H. C. Kinsey & 
Company, 1938. First Edition. A small, slim volume of 47 pages. 
Roosevelt's own copy with a bookplate from the publisher on the front 
endpaper stating, "This is your editorial copy" with a publication date 
of 3 January 1938. Above the bookplate the First Lady has INSCRIBED and 
SIGNED the book to her daughter and son-in-law: "For Anna & John/My good 
critics & best/readers! With love/Eleanor Roosevelt." We have handled 
many signed books by Eleanor Roosevelt, but this is only the third 
signed example of this title we have come across and one of the very 
very few of any of her titles inscribed to a family member. Joints and 
gutters of book darkened but a superior copy in both condition and 
association. Near Fine in a close to Fine dustwrapper. (#014904)        
$5,000.00
