Description
First edition. SIGNED BY TRUMAN on the half-title page. Large 8vo gilt-stamped quarter white cloth over blue cloth boards stamped in red, black, and blue on spine; top edge red; 315 pages. Very good or better with light soiling to spine cloth, board edges a little bumped, and top edge stain fading; in a good example of the fragile dust jacket showing some chipping, creasing, and general wear, as usually seen. TOGETHER WITH a scarce commemorative publication issued by Independence Press in 1972, presumably for the Harry S. Truman Library in Independence, MO. Small 4to stapled paperwraps; 33 pages of black-and-white photographs featuring visitors to the library, primarily celebrities and politicians, with 3 pages devoted entirely to Thomas Hart Benton and his massive mural, ""Independence and the Opening of the West,"" which graces the entrance to the library. Good or better with light rumpling and damp stains to lower edges and few archival tape repairs.
