Signed book: Outdoor Pastimes of an American Hunter. First edition, limited issue, numbered 219/260. NY: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1905. Hardcover, 7 x 10, 369 pages. Boldly signed on the colophon in ink, "Theodore Roosevelt." Autographic condition: fine. Book condition: VG/None, with rubbing to corners and extremities, and light toning to textblock edges; bound in three-quarter pigskin, which is notorious for deterioration. Nearly all known copies reflect this. However, this copy has been saved that fate having been expertly and professionally rebacked with the original
spine laid down. Despite his many publications, this is the only book Roosevelt published while in the White House, and it is the first book published by a sitting U.S. President. An impressive limited edition volume.
