About This Item
Brooklyn, NY: Theo. Gaus' Sons, Inc, 1976. Hardcover. Small 4to. Green cloth with gilt lettering. xii, 141pp. Fine. Front flyleaf ownership signature. Pristine, tight first edition of the last book by this history and political science professor (1911-77), an analysis of what it really takes to be elected U.S. president -- and handsomely signed and inscribed by him in blue ink on front pastedown: "To / David / With warmest regards / J Flynn / April 8, 1976." Unusual -- Flynn died in November 1977, the year after this book's publication, and signed copies are rarely seen.
