About This Item
(New York): HarperCollins, (1995). First U.S. edition, limited issue. Number 127 of 175 SIGNED, numbered copies of 201 total (there were an additional 26 lettered copies). Thatcher, who covered "The Downing Street Years" in her 1993 memoir, takes us from her early life through 1970, when she was elected Prime Minister, and then covers her life after leaving office in 1990. Small 4to quarter beige cloth with gilt stamping and burgundy blocking to spine; burgundy cloth boards; top edge red; profusely illustrated with black-and-white photographs; 656 pages, including index. Very good with rubbing to burgundy spine block not affecting gilt lettering, and few small scrapes and faint staining to rear board. Housed in original burgundy cloth-covered slipcase showing small stain and few cloth snags but otherwise near fine. Much scarcer than the London limited edition that precedes it.
