In the Arena: A Memoir of Victory, Defeat, and Renewal by NIXON, Richard - 1990

New York: Simon and Schuster, 1990. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good-/Very good-. Octavo, 384pp., illustrated. About very good in the publisher's blue boards with blue cloth spine. Dampstain at the base--more notably affecting the dust jacket--and some bumps to corners, but otherwise a crisp, clean copy. SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Nixon on a front blank: "To John Pilzhoff [?] Jr. with best wishes from Richard Nixon." As one of Nixon's last published books before his death in 1994, there are fewer authentically signed copies in commerce than some earlier titles. We've found that most copies in the trade described as signed are in fact signed on bookplates which were later laid-in or affixed to the book.
