Three tiny repaired closed tears at jacket edges. All pages are in very fine unmarked condition and the spine/binding is in exceedingly tight and square unread condition (see photographs). "A warm and wonderful portrait of our 36th president as seen through his delightful wit and exuberant humor. Here are the very best of the famous Johnson stories with which the President has delighted family and friends. Here is President Johnson joking with reporters on the White House lawn, breaking the tension of a grueling campaign with a hilarious anecdote, and bringing a smile to a White House guest with a witty quip. Here is the President of the United States with that delightful facet of his personality - the Johnson humor." - from the inner front jacket flap. "A member of the Internal Revenue Service telephoned a Baptist minister one day and said: "I am reviewing the tax return of one of the members of your church and he listed a donation of two hundred dollars to the church. Can you tell me if he made the contribution?" The minister replied: "I don't have my records in front of me, but if he didn't, he will!"! - from The Johnson Humor. "After reading a complimentary article about himself: I wish my mother and father could read this. My father would enjoy it and my mother would believe it." - from The Johnson Humor.…

Store description
Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
