From a limited edition of 100 copies, with number 11-100 available for public sale. This is copy number 27 of 100, (Halter T-552). From the personal collection of Roosevelt bibliographer Frederick B. Adams, Jr. His personal collation notes are included with this copy, dated 5/9/35. Possibly the most detailed collation of this book available, he finishes his notes with: "It is therefore obvious that the book was printed so far as possible (pp. 31 to 254 incl.) on cheaper stock of which it was impossible to find a further supply at short notice, making it necessary to fill out with another kind of paper, which also had to be used for corrections." He also observes that: "The second gathering of 8's ends with p.30. It is possible that the printing of these first two gatherings was delayed pending the receipt of the President's introduction, dated March 1st."

Price: US$2500.00 + shipping

Condition: Very Good

Description: One of ten deluxe copies only, prepared for presentation by the publisher and FDR. The publisher, in addition to the first trade edition, published a deluxe edition in a different format of 100 copies only, all numbered. Copies 11 through 100 were for sale. Copies 1 through 10 were not for sale. This is copy 10, one of the first 10 copies explicitly (according to the colophon page) not for sale. Differs from the first trade edition in many ways, including gold gilt on top edge and beveled boards. Also, strangely, the deluxe edition is a smaller format than the trade edition, although it has all the same content. Housed in a custom-made collector slipcase. Needless to say, deluxe one of ten copies of significant books by US Presidents are very uncommon. This is an early title by FDR, articles and speeches before he became President, and published just when he started his first term. Issued without a dust jacket. We have seen only one other copy of this presentation edition, and it was inscribed by FDR.
