Rufus Burrus" and SIGNED "Harry Truman" BY THE AUTHOR and dated 3/31/66. Volumes Five, Six, and Eight are not inscribed or signed. Overall, Near Fine: shows only the mildest wear to the extremities. The bindings are square and secure; the texts clean. Very close to 'As New'. However, Volume One (1945) shows dampstaining to the lower outside quadrant of the front panel, which has imposed a very slight bow at the corner and a faint waviness to the lower corner of the first few text pages (but no overt dampstains). Volume Two (1946) shows mild rubbing near the head and heel of the backstrip. Volume Six (1950) shows some faint indentations to the outside margins (not apparent from the fore-edge), some pencil notations at the upper corner of the rear free endpaper, and a faint crease - or buckle - to the cloth of the backstrip. Volume Eight (1952-53) shows some mild rubbing to the blue background field of the title band. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of underlining, hi-lighting, notations, or marginalia. Free of any ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, plates, or labels. A handsome, like-new copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing no discernible flaws. Bright and clean. Corners sharp. But for the noted flaws, Virtually 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 4to.
