[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. We have not
seen another association copy of this leatherbound title except for this
very copy which we sold back in 2001 and acquired again a few years ago.
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. (#015329) $1,500.00
