My Experiences in the War ("The Author's Autograph Edition") -- In the Pictorial Slipcase

  • SIGNED
  • New York , 1931
By John J. Pershing
New York, 1931. A solid, well-preserved copy of the 1931 signed/limited edition ("The Author's Autograph Edition"). #862 OF 2,100 COPIES SIGNED BY GENERAL PERSHING at the limitation. Both volumes clean and easily VG+ to boot in their olive-green cloth, with bright gilt-titling to the front panels and lightly-rubbed gilt-titling along the spines. Thick octavos, top-edges gilt, a number of fold-out maps (and crisp black-and-white photos and smaller maps within the body of the text) complementing the General's narrative. The publisher's fragile, pictorial slipcase has held up well also. Still sturdy and bright in its gold-hued card boards, with light fraying along the edges and soiling --with light pencil-- to the rear panel. Lacking the original dustjackets. Still though, substantial and very presentable.
