Very good. Binding mildly edgeworn and rear inner hinge a tad delicate but archivally strengthened, thus tight; text block bright and tight and near fine. Handsome first trade edition.

Addressed to Lucien S. Hanks. Fine. On imprinted letterhead, the yachtsman tells this admirer "I would be only too happy to autograph your copy of my Enterprise book if you will send it to me." Boldly signed in full in blue ink. Recipient Lucien S. Hanks II (whose small name/address inkstamp appears on inner flyleaf) was a Wisconsin realtor (1907-92) whose namesake grandfather, Madison banker Lucien S. Hanks (1838-1925), earned a footnote in Abraham Lincoln history with his claim that once, when sharing a bed with Lincoln during Lincoln's visit to Janesville, the latter tossed and turned so much in his sleep that Hanks was forced to abandon the bed and sleep on the floor. Vanderbilt (1884-1970) of THE Vanderbilt family was a railroad executive and world-class bridge player, but is best remembered as a champion yachtsman. An attractive and unusual copy, both signed by Vanderbilt and with letter from him.

Binding tight and solid. Vanderbilt Club was one of the earliest bidding systems in the game of contract bridge. It was devised by Harold S. Vanderbilt, who had in 1925 devised the game itself. It was published by him in 1929. It was the first strong club system. An updated version was published in 1964. As of 2017, it has long been obsolete. Vanderbilt was a very early bridge theorist, because in his 1929 book he explained in detail the reasoning upon which his system was based: "In many Contract hands it is essential that an original bidder be assured of a second opportunity to bid".
