This copy includes a laid-in postcard from Roland Bainton with his signature and a wonderfully illustrated (though small) caricature of his head. "Bainton published Here I Stand: A Life of Martin Luther in 1950. As of 2019, it is still in print. Kenneth Scott Latourette, in the chapter notes for "Luther and the Rise and Spread of Lutheranism" in his History of Christianity, lauds Bainton's biography of Luther as "A superb combination of accurate scholarship based upon a thorough knowledge of the sources and secondary works with insight, vivid, readable literary style, and reproductions of contemporary illustrations. It also contains so valuable a bibliography as to render needless an extended one in this chapter." " (from Wikipedia); Signed by Author .
