Item Details

Description

Book: Freedom and Responsibility in the American Way of Life

Author: Carl Becker

Publisher: Knopf

Publication Date: 1945

Binding: Hardcover

Book Condition: Good

Dust Jacket Condition: No Jacket

Edition: 1st Edition

Signed by Clare Booth Luce and Hellen Keller

This is a fair but not distinctive stated first edition of Carl Becker's Freedom and Responsibility in the American Way of Life (122 numbered pages, plus index). The blue cover is scuffed, but securely attached to the inside, which is in good overall condition, with no tears and with tight binding. There are a number of corner creases and a few spreads that are tanned from articles having been left in those spreads. The front end page has a notation that states this is from the library of Clare Booth Luce (dated Nov 3rd, 1946), apparently Clare Booth Luce's signature. The capital B is unusual, but there are instances of her having written it that way. The other letters are typical of her signatures. Separately, there is a cut-off piece of light blue paper, the type of stationery Helen Keller used, with the typed closing "Trustingly and cordially yours", followed by a Helen Keller signature. A pencil note on the side states "This is Miss Keller's autograph".
