From the White House: American Presidential Autographs

Vermont: Charles E. Tuttle, 1968. First Edition. Large Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 9x6x1. First edition. Jacket clipped with price intact, rear jacket flap creased. Pencil name on half-title page. 1968 Large Hardcover. 147 pp. "The author explains in detail why certain presidential autographs are particularly sought after and others are a glut on the market. ...The author also explains such details as the first origin of the first stamped signatures (when Andrew Johnson injured his arm), discusses the first president to employ the typewriter (Chester A. Arthur), and notes which president personally penned all the invitations to his wedding (Grover Cleveland). Mention is made of forgeries, the autographs of First Ladies, and those of presidential assassins--whose autographs invariably command higher prices than those of their victims. Ninety reproductions of presidential letters and documents, many hitherto unpublished, illustrate the text."--jacket
