About this Item

5 1/2 X 8 Inches. 119 PP. Signed, "Blaine Donaldson - With the Regards of Thomas Donaldson. March 23 - 1898 - First One Issued" directly on the title-page. A splendid association of the first book issued signed to author's own son. A very scarce first printing in the original maroon cloth binding. History of Thomas Jefferson and his work on the Declaration of Independence as well as the United States Constitution. A rather interesting history of the homes Jefferson wrote in. Hinges cracked. Wear to edges and corners. A bit of chipping to crown and foot of spine. Obviously, a well loved and used copy of this important book. Seller Inventory # 3835

Store Description

The older he gets, the more his collection starts to resemble his bedroom at the age of 10. The stock at Back in Time is officially classified as General Antiquarian, but the truth of the matter is that the stock is a smattering of historical pieces that have found their way beyond the gates of Endor. You see, Mike has two great loves in his professional life - American History & Pop Culture of the late 20th Century. Back in Time is a member of the Florida Antiquarian Booksellers Association (FABA) as well as the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America (ABAA). USPAP compliant appraisal work provided for those in need of insurance and/or IRS appraisals.
