About This Item
[Winston-Salem, NC]: Palaemon Press Limited, (December 1981). First Edition. Hardcover. Sunning to the spine. Near Fine in a Near Fine slipcase with sunning along edges and at the top portion. Bound in full blue cloth with gilt lettering on the spine. Prints Carter's 9-page farewell address on heavy paper. Copy #28 of only 300 SIGNED by the former President as "Jimmy Carter" on the title page. Half of the edition was reserved for Carter; the other half was issued for sale by the publisher. Quite possibly the most difficult Carter title to find and a poorly made book. Of the dozen or so copies we have examined over the years, all were loosely stitched in their casings often causing the text block to slide up and down. This copy is no different. It seems that not all copies were issued with a slipcase, but this copy does have one.
