Bookplate is boldly signed in full by Lyndon B. Johnson. On the opposite page (half title page) Lady Bird Johnson has inscribed and signed her name. Most seasoned autograph dealers will tell you that genuine signatures of Lyndon B. Johnson are very difficult to obtain. He used the Autopen machine and secretaries. Many documents are signed with a printed signature. Many books are signed and or inscribed by his secretary. Basically, the only way to ensure you have an absolutely genuine signature of Johnson is to obtain one of these bookplates. Much information published about Johnson’s signature is the opinions of their authors and not always accurate. Book in very good condition with a worn but acceptable dust jacket. Nearly impossible to find this book signed by both.........$325.00
