SIGNED, without inscription, by both the author Courtney Whitney, and the subject of the General Douglas MacArthur, both on the front endpaper.

The unclipped dust jacket, protected in a sleeve, is lightly edge rubbed with two short (1/4") closed tears on the rear panel and the spine ends and corners are nicked and abraded.

About Trilby & Co. Books
Trilby & Co. Books is located in Northern California. The company was founded years ago by a Shetland Sheepdog named Trilby. Trilby's message to her family was brief and direct - the sale of books would increase disposable income and improve the quality of provisions in her food dish. My name is McTavish (picture above). I am the current CEO of this company, and I approve of her message. Oh, by the way, my speciality is literature, with an emphasis on first editions and signed books.
