[Rarebooks] FS: SIGNED Author's Edition of Harry Truman's MR. CITIZEN

[Charles Agvent]

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 
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 on the half-title page: "To 
Hon. Harry Darby/from/Harry Truman/with kindest regards/and appreciation 
of his/friendship./Independence/Feb. 7, 1961." Slight pulling at bottom 
of half-title page from text block. About Fine in a Near Fine pictorial 
slipcase.

Darby was a Republican national committeeman from Kansas from 1940 to 
1964. He helped manage Gov. Alfred M. Landon's unsuccessful 1936 
campaign for President. In 1948 he backed Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New 
York and was one of the few Dewey advisers to suggest that a Republican 
victory over President Truman was not a sure thing. In 1950, he became a 
United States Senator to fill out the term of Senator Clyde M. Reed and 
played a key role in the choice of Dwight D. Eisenhower as the 1952 
Republican candidate for President. (#018969)        $2,500.00
