About This Item
New York: Simon & Schuster, 2001. Signed directly on the first printed page by Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the United States (his signature only, NOT personalized to anyone). Because this copy is signed DIRECTLY, it means that former President Carter personally handled the book (unlike copies with only a signed bookplate). Fine condition in a Very Good dust jacket (only light soil). NO chips, tears, creases or fading. NOT price clipped ($26.00). The jacket is protected by a removable Brodart clear-plastic sleeve. Sharp corners. The book itself is clean, bright, square and tight. NOT a library discard. NOT a remainder. NO owner's name or bookplate. Pages are fresh, crisp, clean and unmarked. 2019. Illustrated with several photos. Bound in the original biege boards with a blue spine lettered in bright gold. Complete with dust jacket. From the publisher: "The former president offers an intriguing account of growing up on a Georgia farm during the Depression and provides incisive profiles of the people who shaped his life: his segregationist farmer father, strong-willed nurse mother, eccentric relatives, boyhood friends, and others.". Signed by Jimmy Carter. Hardcover. Fine condition/Very Good dust jacket. Illus. by NOT a library discard. 8vo. 286pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.
