[JOHNSON, Lyndon B.] AIKMAN, Lonnelle. THE LIVING WHITE HOUSE.
Washington: White House Historical Association, (1966). First Edition.
Bound in full dark green leather with gilt rules on the front cover and
gilt lettering on the spine. Illustrated with drawings and color
photographs. Foreword by Lady Bird Johnson with an introduction by Bruce
Catton. One of an edition of only 100 copies specially bound, this
numbered "87" in pencil in the upper right corner of the limitation
page. Although not called for, this copy is INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the
President on the limitation page: "To Betty/Who like some other
things/gets better with the years./Happy Birthday/Affectionately/Lyndon
B. Johnson." The smallest limitation of any book associated with Johnson
that we have encountered. The recipient's last name has been roughly
erased and the inscription, though not Johnson's signature, has had the
ink smeared though it is easily readable. Spine tips a little rubbed but
no other wear. Very Good and scarce. (#013374) $1,500.00
