Library Find: Inscribed to George W. Bush ( Some People have the luck...)

John A. Stovall wrote: I just got an email from a friend in Arkansas, who Sunday went to the big city of Fayetteville and stopped by a garage sale while there. He as I am a military history collector and saw a box full of Military History titles and before he could dig through them, the woman running the sale told him he could have them all for 2 dollars as she wanted to get ride of them and it was getting late. So he got the box. When he got home, he found a very fine inscribed copy of John Kerry's "The New Solider" in it. Needless to say I will hear about this for a long time..... Interesting. I have a parallel story, in that at this weekend's Friends of the Austin Public Library sale I found a copy of John Calvin Batchelor's "Ain't You Glad You Joined the Republicans?"A Short History of the GOP, inscribed as follows: "March 1999/To Governor/George W. Bush/of Texas/In the hope that/you become that/rarest of states men/the 25th nominee/of the GOP/Best/(signature)" That I put up for auction almost immediately, but I'm keeping a copy of Nicholas Negroponte's Being Digital, inscribed as follows: "To George +/Laura/Bush/You [sic] Dad's/copy NOT [underscored]/signed./(signature) And both those are fine copies, not Ex-Library copies, donated by Laura Bush to the Freinds sale. There were some other tasty finds, but those were the highlights. |
