Description
As President, Franklin D. Roosevelt signed first edition, first printing of ''On Our Way''. Published by The John Day Company: New York: 1934. Inscribed on front free endpaper in blue pen, ''To J.H. Sherrod / Merry Christmas / from / Franklin D. Roosevelt / 1934''. FDR's account of his first year in office is a first issue, complete with the number 1 on the copyright page, the word ''party'' instead of ''property'' on page x and the word ''willing'' rather than ''unwilling'' on page 162. Both mistakes have been corrected in blue pen, but whether or not it was done by Roosevelt himself is unclear. Bound in blue cloth boards with gilt text, hardcover volume contains 300pp. Measures 5.5'' x 7.75''. Minor scratching to boards, some fading along spine, minor foxing and toning to pastedowns and interior, otherwise near fine condition. A very rare copy with a tight interior and bold signature.
