This two volume Easton press edition of Nixon’s autobiography describes the early years of his life till the presidential election of 1972 (vol.I) and relates the events from the election of 1972 until his resignation in 1974 (vol. II). First published by Easton Press in 1988, this title appears in both signed and unsigned states. N.B. Pleae note binding style, particulary the lower rectangular box at bottom of spine which contains three stars. The Easton Press published two different printings of this binding style, differentiated by the present style with three stars and another similar binding, exact in all respects, but with two stars, with the center star replaced by a small Easton Press logo (E/P). We could not determine if this incongruity corresponds in any way in determining if the respective edition is signed or unsigned. Having said that, we are selling the present set as unsigned. A new and pristine gift quality set. A heavy set, Priority and International orders will be charged postage at actual cost.
