One of hundreds of fine SIGNED PRESIDENTIAL items in our inventory

TRUMAN, Harry. MR. CITIZEN. (New York): Bernard Geis, (1960). First 
Edition. Illustrated with photographs. Truman's account of his 
experiences after leaving the White House. The scarcest of the three 
issues of this book, this is the Author's Edition bound in half brown 
morocco leather and patterned paper boards with two gilt-lettered black 
labels on the spine and a larger label on the front cover noting this as 
the "Author's Edition." It is believed that only 100 copies were issued 
in this manner for use by Truman to give to families and friends, as 
opposed to the limitation of 1000 of the regular limited edition. This 
copy is INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author to his former Secretary of 
the Treasury on the half-title page: "To Honorable John Wesley 
Snyder,/from/his good friend, comrade/and associate in most/trying 
times. He was the/greatest of the great Secretaries/of the 
Treasury./Sincerely/Harry Truman/Independence/November 11, 1960." Snyder 
has highlighted a few passages with pencil. Housed in the original 
pictorial slipcase which is also INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author: 
"Honorable John W. Snyder/from/Harry Truman." This inscription and 
signature are rubbed and faded but still visible. Some rubbing to one of 
the spine labels. Near Fine in a Near Fine slipcase. (#015407) $4,000.00
