Sobre este artículo
New York: Harper and Brothers, 1950. Book. Near Fine. Hardcover. Signed Associational. Book Club Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Tan cloth-effect boards, lettered on spine panel in dark blue. Portions of both covers are somewhat tanned by age, with minor rubbing along edges, top text block edge typically a bit dulled by age. Dust jacket shows mild surface rubbing/soiling, slight wrinkling, in new mylar. Copyright page does not show the typical two-letter Harper code but rather a "1" inside a square, and the DJ flap is unpriced, so we suspect this copy to be a book club edition. xii,410 pp. Boldly inscribed on front flyleaf by Harry S Truman, full signature, personalized to Jack McHugh; flyleaf also shows McHugh's inked signature/date and a pastedown label inside the front cover indicating this copy to have been part of his Rooseveltiana collection. An accompanying note from McHugh indicates that when he and his father met Truman on July 4, 1953, the former President (and Roosevelt's VP) inscribed this copy. Authenticity guaranteed, excellent provenance, purchased directly from the family that obtained the signature..

Sobre Saucony Book Shop
The Saucony Book Shop, located in the heart of scenic rural Berks County, epicenter of Pennsylvania German folk culture (our shop specialty), offers a full range of gently used, rare, and antiquarian books, with many volumes of scholarly merit and an unabashed emphasis on the quaint, the curious, and the utterly obscure. We make no attempt to be a general-service book shop. Our inventory is highly selective, individually chosen from among the hundreds of thousands of books to which we have access annually at auctions, library and estate sales, and through individual scouts and vendors. We do not handle material that does not meet our expectations in terms of condition or interest to our specialized, idiosyncratic customers. Despite maintaining a browsing inventory of more than 15,000 volumes, we have minimized our carbon footprint by maintaining our entire operation in a cozy ca. 1890 barn and lean-to adjacent to an historic creamery in rural Maxatawny Township. Our shop is available for browsing by appointment and occasionally, in temperate weather, by chance, so email or call ahead to peruse the eclectic selection gracing our shelves, or ask our ferociously over-read staff for recommendations. Selling antiquarian books of merit since 1981. Full search and appraisal services; always keenly interested in purchasing quality used books, whether by the piece or by the bushel. Thanks for reading about us! Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
