Books

This is a numbered and signed first edition of which this is number 472 of 1,426. It lacks the original acetate jacket and the slipcase. It is now in a red custom made slipcase made by Quality Bindery, Inc (photo). Bound in heavy duty wheat colored buckram. This copy is signed twice as it is an association copy with an inscription for the commander of the Fitzsimons Army Hospital in Denver when President Eisenhower was a heart patient there in 1955 (photo). The book is also signed by Eisenhower on the Facsimile of the D-Day Order of the Day (photo). In effect the book was signed in 1948 when Ike was a five star general and in 1955 when he was president and commander-in-chief. The book is in good condition. Its only imperfection is the front hinge which is a bit shaken (photo), otherwise the hinge is firm to feel.
