About This Item

New York: Charles Scribner's Sons,, 1933. First edition, first printing, presentation copy, inscribed by the 31st President on the front free endpaper "To my good friend Timothy Hopkins from Herbert Hoover". The recipient, the businessman Timothy Hopkins (1859-1936), was a member of the board of trustees at Hoover's alma mater Stanford University, and close friends with the president. Hoover was one of the pall bearers at his funeral. Stephen Koschal, in his guide to collecting presidential signatures, cites this book as "very difficult to find signed" (Koschal, p. 42). Octavo. Original blue cloth, spine lettered in gilt. Neat ownership signature dated 18 October 1942 to initial blank. A couple of patches of rubbing, contents fresh; a near-fine copy. Stephen Koschal, Collecting Books and Pamphlets Signed by the Presidents of the United States, 1982.
