Times Books / Random House, 1995. First printing. Hardcover. Fine/very good. Octavo; xi, [xii], 403 pages; two yellow price labels from NYC's famed Strand Bookstore (from 1997, and 1998) on the front pastedown; there is a pinhole puncture starting a short, closed tear on the spine of the dust jacket, a defect which is only slightly noticeable because it part of the dj illustration which wraps around across the spine title. Inscribed on the half-title page by Barack Obama: "To Jean and Paul / Thanks for all your / friendship and support !" F. Paul Mooring was a physicist at Argonne National Laboratory. He and Jean spearheaded the creation of the Illinois Prairie Path. He was on the DuPage Conservation Commission, the Conservation Foundation and served as president and treasurer of the Illinois Audubon Society. The Moorings were early supporters of Obama as an Illinois State Senator, and in his following campaigns for U. S. Senator from Illinois, and President of the United States. Note: this book had only one printing in its first edition, and many of those went to lending libraries, and other copies were remaindered. It bears no remainder marks, but that may be how The Strand bookstore acquired it. Unlike today, few people wanted it prior to 2004 - except State Senator Obama, who bought remaindered copies after his supply of author's copies was exhausted.

The dust jacket is still glossy with just faint edgewear, and has not been price-clipped. The only noticable blemish to the jacket is a faint, blue smudge-mark to the front of the jacket at the middle, bottom edge. The covers are close to new with "straight" edge-corners. The black, cloth covering over the spine is unfaded and the gilt lettering of the book title is bright with no losses due to rubbing/wear. The three textblock sides are perfect with no marks or blemishes. Aside from the gift inscription to the title page, there are no marks, creased pages, or blemishes of any kind to the endpapers or text page. The binding is excellent and the spine is straight with no lean/slant. . Very Good.

Barack Obama describes his confrontation with this shadow in his provocative autobiography and he also persuasively describes the phenomenon of belonging to two different worlds, and thus belonging to neither At a young age and without much experience as a writer, Barack Obama has bravely tackled the complexities of his remarkable upbringing" (The New York Times). In discussing Dreams from My Father, Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison has called Obama "a writer in my high esteem" and the book "quite extraordinary." She praised "his ability to reflect on this extraordinary mesh of experiences that he has had, some familiar and some not, and to really meditate on that the way he does, and to set up scenes in narrative structure, dialogue, conversation—all of these things that you don't often see, obviously, in the routine political memoir biography. It's unique. It's his. There are no other ones like that."
