About This Item
New Rochelle, NY: Arlington House, 1968. Hardcover. Small 4to. Pale orange cloth with black spine lettering, pictorial dust jacket. 355pp. Near fine/very good. Mild jacket edgewear. Tight and handsome first edition of this unsanctioned bio -- with choice autograph addition: Tipped to front flyleaf is a 4" X 4" printed "United States Senate Memorandum" sheet in the center of which Humphrey signs in full diagonally, exceptionally large and bold in black ink; near bottom of this slip has been typed "Senator from the state of Minnesota." By way of background, Humphrey's offices utilized the Autopen extensively throughout his lengthy career to sign an enormous array of letters, documents, photographs, etc. -- and the market is rife with these not-properly-identified nonauthentic signatures. This unusually large (4") and unquestionably authentic exemplar is thus surprisingly uncommon, and though undated likely hails from the early 1960s. Humphrey (1911-78) served as Lyndon Johnson's second in command (1965-69) as well as long-time U.S. Senator from Minnesota (1948-64, 1971-78).
