xii, 263 pages of text. Limited edition, number 169 of 250 copies signed by Eleanor Roosevelt on the limitation page. Hardcover binding in excellent condition with minimal fading to the spine, which is uniform except for a 3mm strip at the bottom edge. Top edge of closed pages is gilt-covered remaining bright and clean. The other page edges are deckled (uncut), and several pages of text and/or endpapers are uncut and unopened. The original unrestored dustjacket has a few small chips, a perforation and non-linear tears in correlation with the placement of the slipcase half-circle finger-pull, several small tears and creases to the edges, a two square inch chip on the rear flap which was reattached from the rear using archival tape, a tiny square of archival tape repair to the front of the rear panel, minor to moderate soiling, and considerable sunning to the spine; protected in archival Mylar. The inner flaps of the dustjacket are blank, which indicates that this is the correct issue dustjacket for this edition.
