[16], [xii], [1]-562, [2, blank] pp. Publisher's deluxe binding of full blue cloth, front board and spine stamped in gilt, pictorial endleaves, all edges gilt, publisher's matching slipcase. FIRST EDITION THUS, ONE OF 1,000 COPIES SIGNED BY GEORGE H. W. BUSH (unnumbered) ON AN INSERTED LEAF TO COMMEMORATE HIS INAUGURATION. IN ADDITION, THERE ARE FIVE OTHER INSERTED LEAVES SIGNED BY OTHER PRESIDENTS (these signatures are not called for with this title). The other Presidents who have signed inserted leaves include: Dwight David Eisenhower, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard M. Nixon, Gerald R. Ford, and Jimmy Carter. Their leaves apparently come from various, undesignated sources. A rare and possibly unique copy of this handsome book. 

Minor rubbing to binding and slipcase, a few gutters a bit overopened. Fine.
