About This Item

New York: The Limited Editions Club, 1944. Limited Edition. Hardcover with Cloth Clamshell Case. Very Good+/Clamshell Case: Good. 4to. Pp. [8], 221, followed by the colophon. Introduction by publisher George Macy. Lavishly filled with black and white photography throughout. Bound in tan half-calf over printed paper-covered boards. Tail of spine just a tad scuffed. In the black cloth clamshell case, gilt lettering stamped on front panel. Slight fading and wear to edges and extremities. Of an edition limited to 1500 copies, this is hand-numbered copy 1457. Signed by Willkie at the colophon.

In addition, also included is a ninth printing of Willkie's One World (NY: Simon and Schuster, 1943), in original printed wraps. Condition is good, with former owner name on front cover; light wear consistent with age. The presidential aspirant (1940) who, during a campaign trip to China, was wooed (and purportedly seduced) by Madame Chiang Kai Shek, presents his plea for a world cohesion at the very time the world was most splintered. Suffice it to say Willkie's uncritical view of China's National Government leadership, as evinced here, is a bit rosy. The LEC edition is supported by generous inclusion of photos.

The book documents his tour around the world, dispatched by his victor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the Life-magazine type photography here is quite striking. The 159th volume in the publisher's series of signed limited editions.
