Housed in a large black ring binder with individual leaves placed back-to-back in mylar sleeves. Housed in a custom clamshell box. $28,000.Manuscript draft of Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1933 book Looking Forward, his clarion call for a "new deal" that was published in the month of his inauguration, with Roosevelt's handwritten corrections in ink on 22 pages.Published amidst the devastation of the Great Depression and in the same month as his inauguration, FDR's Looking Forward draws on major articles and speeches; it was an immediate best-seller. On publication the New York Times noted: "As President Roosevelt takes up the task of translating into terms of action his conception of the 'new deal' there comes from the press this book in which he sets forth his convictions as to why a new deal is necessary." Included are chapters on the reorganization of the government, taxation, agriculture, railroads, judicial reform and more. This extraordinary final draft, containing all but FDR's Inaugural Address (which had not been yet been delivered and was the last thing added to the book; it is present here in a photoreproduction of the manuscript for those pages), has additions, corrections and emendations by Roosevelt himself in ink on 22 pages, and numerous other pencil corrections and additions in an unknown hand. The lengthiest addition is found at the top of the first page of text, in which Roosevelt has added: "This is essentially a compilation from many articles written and speeches made prior to March 1, 1933. I have added parts which bind the material together as a whole." At the end of the introduction, he also strikes through "The White House," replacing it with "Hyde Park, March 1st 1933" three days before his first Inauguration.Roosevelt's marks in the manuscript, by leaf number:5: Added to the top "This is essentially a compilation from many articles written and speeches made prior to March 1, 1933.
