Price reduced to $2500 NET

[ROOSEVELT, Franklin D.]. THE DEMOCRATIC BOOK 1936. First Edition. Folio 
(11" x 14") in the original full brown leather with gilt lettering on 
the front cover and the original pictorial wraps bound in; 384 pages. 
SIGNED by the President beneath a color image of the White House on the 
limitation leaf, #1531 of an unstated limitation of 2500 copies, which 
is often found removed from the book as it makes a beautiful display 
piece. A voluminous book of information and advertising (many liquor 
ads) that was used as a fund raiser for the Democratic Party containing 
FDR's acceptance speech, the Democratic Platform of 1936, and 
biographies of all the Cabinet members as well as articles on Congress, 
the Supreme Court, the Cabinet departments, and reproductions of the 
Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Some light and 
scattered foxing with the typical discoloration to the edges of the 
endpapers. The page with FDR's signature is Fine. This is a presentation 
copy, as a number of copies were, with the recipient's name in gilt at 
the bottom of the front cover, in this case the "Bethlehem Steel Company 
Library." Though it was in that once powerful company's library, there 
are no library markings whatsoever. The binding has some wear to the 
spine tips with slight loss of leather at the heel and light wear to the 
corners. Very Good copy and increasingly uncommon. (#014900) $3,500.00
