Item description from seller

Octavo, xii, 394pp. Publisher's green cloth, title stamped in gilt on spine. Stated "first edition" on copyright page. A few finger smudges throughout, dampstain to top quarter of chapter 7-8, no impact to text block. In the publisher's first state dust jacket, retail price on front flap, small chips at spine, light shelf wear, a bright example. Inscribed on the half title: "Harry dear, I think you will enjoy this. Love, E.R." A scarce work signed by Eleanor Roosevelt. Eleanor Roosevelt on "Affectionately, F.D.R., from November 19, 1959: "I have never mentioned in this column the book written by my oldest son, James, about his father, called "Affectionately, F.D.R." No father could have asked for a more understanding and sympathetic tribute from a son, and it is certainly written with deep affection. I have a slight reservation about some things that are said in the book about other people, but not about my husband. The reason is that I think they reflect the observations and feelings of a very young man, perhaps at the time not quite capable of understanding certain things and who, therefore, was impatient.".
