About this Item

First Edition (NAP). Signed and inscribed on the front inside cover ('To Alvin W. Hall, With highest regards, Chip Robert, 1937'). Chip Robert has written that he was a close friend of the author's family. There are a few other copies of this book for sale on the Internet that were signed and inscribed by Chip Robert. One is to Eleanor Roosevelt and another to a U.S. Senator. Lawrence Wood "Chip" Robert Jr. (1889?1976) was a 1908 graduate of the Georgia Institute of Technology and founder of noted Atlanta engineering and architectural firm, Robert and Company. Robert was appointed by Franklin D. Roosevelt as Assistant Treasurer of the United States, serving from 1933 to 1936 and was in charge of the Works Progress Administration; he was then appointed secretary of the Democratic National Committee in 1936, and was the executive officer of the Conference of Southeastern Governors in November 1937. Alvin W. Hall was an official in the United States Department of the Treasury and was Director of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing from 1924 to 1954. He was the youngest Director of the Bureau ever, and also the longest serving, holding office for thirty years until his retirement in 1954. Which brings us to the description of the condition of the book. I haven't been avoiding it, the condition is excellent. The covers are a brown suede. They are very clean. They have little to no wear (see photos). The spine ends have a tiny bit of rubbing. The six edges and four corners are in very good shape. The gilt lettering on the front is still very bright. And the book is square, straight, and very solidly bound from cover to cover. The page edges have no soiling. The interior of the book is near-perfect. The pages are exceptionally clean. I didn't see one instance of soiling. That includes the inside covers and end papers. They're also in excellent condition, without any creasing or dogeared corners. The only imperfection is a small paper clip impression off the top edge of the front end paper. Its vague outline can be seen on the next few pages as well. Finally there is a fold-out map which is in excellent condition.

Store Description

Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.
