Description

Three books signed on bookplates by Dwight D. Eisenhower: a first trade edition of The White House Years: Mandate for Change, hardcover with dust jacket, signed on a bookplate affixed to the half-title page in ink, "with best wishes, Dwight D. Eisenhower," with a typed inscription above; a first trade edition of The White House Years: Waging Peace, hardcover with dust jacket, signed on a bookplate affixed to the half-title page in ink, "Harry N. Burgess, Best wishes from Dwight D. Eisenhower"; and an official printing of The Public Papers of Dwight D. Eisenhower, hardcover, signed and inscribed on a bookplate affixed to the front pastedown in ink, "For Mrs. Mary Singer, best wishes from Dwight D. Eisenhower." In overall very good condition, with adhesive residue surrounding the bookplate in Mandate for Change; some surface loss to the Waging Peace dust jacket; and, in the Public Papers book, obvious signs that the bookplate was relocated from the first free end page to the front pastedown. From the collection of Dr. Lawrence E. Miller.
