Item description from seller

Stated: 'First Edition Published in November 1939.' Once listed this will be the Only signed copy for sale on the Internet. The book is flat-signed on the first front end paper. The author was no fan of the New Deal, calling it, in the Preface, a 'strange political crusade.' The Introduction is short: ' In England, as the records show; Two centuries and a half ago; A satire, "Hudibras", so named; Was written by a bard, far famed. The poet exercised his wits; On bigots, fakes and hypocrites; And, as we read these lines, we say, "A 'Hudibras' we have today." I won't attempt verse. The covers look terrific. Very clean, very good edges and corners. The top page edge is red. Both end papers are toned or darkened on the halves where the dust jacket flap lay against them. The book is square and very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages and nicely tight covers. The pages are very clean. I'm not seeing any creasing. There are no markings. No attachments. And with the exception of the author's signature, no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. The illustrations are all in excellent shape. The jacket looks very good as well. There is a small loss on the front side of the spine, top and bottom. The rear cover has mild handling soiling. The flaps look very good. Each one has a very thin strip of toning or dust staining at its top edge. They are otherwise very clean. I don't see any wear. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. The price, in any event, is 3/4's of the way down the rear flap. I've always had the jacket in a fitted protective cover.…

Store description

Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…
