Signed book: Outdoor Pastimes of an American Hunter. First edition, limited issue, numbered 198/260. NY: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1905. Hardcover, 7 x 10, 369 pages. Boldly signed on the colophon in ink, "Theodore Roosevelt." Autographic condition: fine. Book condition: G-/None, with the front board neatly detached at the hinge, edgewear and rubbing to boards and corners, and a few stains and areas of toning to extremities; bound in three-quarter pigskin, which is notorious for deterioration. Most known, unrestored copies are in a similar state. Roosevelt's signature is bold and clean, and the textblock remains tight and square. Despite his many publications, this is the only book Roosevelt published while in the White House, and it is the first book published by a sitting president of the United States. An impressive limited edition volume.
