The Winning of the West - Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt
1899 - G.P. Putnam's Sons
When this set came through my shop it immediately jumped out at me: the beautiful binding of the full red leather is exquisite. This is how books should be, old and new. This is how books should feel. And this is how books should smell.
And this is just the beginning.
This very limited Boone edition (of only 200 copies printed) includes not only a gift note in Roosevelt's hand to a Philadelphia publisher, but a leaf of the actual manuscript of this title. What a historical document.
As of this writing there are only 4 editions for sale in the world.
