Product Description
Stated First Printing.
'Two hundred copies have been printed on special paper and specially bound.
Each copy is signed by the author and numbered.
' Below Herbert Hoover's signature the number 176 is written (see photo).
There are only a few other copies of this signed limited edition for sale on the Internet.
You can see the blue covers of my copy in the photos.
They are exceptionally clean.
The gilt lettering on the front and spine is nicely bright.
Exposure to the sun has changed the color on the spine from blue to a light green (the only reason the book is not rated Fine).
There isn't any other wear on the covers.
The spine ends are in very good shape.
The cover edges and corners look very good, no rubbing at all.
The color of the cover edges and corners is identical to that of the front and rear covers, in other words there is no toning.
The top page edge is a light blue.
It looks very good, very clean.
The white middle and bottom page edges are also perfectly clean.
The book is square and the spine looks straight.
The binding is very solid from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well.
The interior of the book is in top-notch condition.
The inside covers and end papers are a light blue.
They are perfectly clean and free of any wear.
The same can be said for all of the pages in the book.
They are perfectly clean.

The corners, top and bottom, on all the pages, look terrific.

And the only writing is the former President's signature, along with the number 176.
If you have taken notice of the large discount ($300.00) relative to the least expensive of the few other signed limited editions, the reason is the color loss on the slipcase.
It should be blue, not tan.
Exposure to the sun is the obvious culprit.
The slipcase is in very solid shape, no tears.
There is a tiny spot off the top edge of the front and a very little and light one on the slipcase's top edge.
The number 176 is also penned off the bottom edge of the rear cover of the slipcase.
The gilt label on the front is in solid shape, just a few superficial scratches.
The blue lettering looks very good.
