Printing Year: 2009

Condition/Details: Decoratively bound in black leather with gilt page edges, raised spine bands and bright gilt embossing, includes four cassette tapes all encased in a custom cherry wood box with brass hardware, this volume is a scarce work signed by President Richard M. Nixon. Number 1 in a limited edition of 94.President Richard M. Nixon: The Watergate Tapes is a limited edition book that chronicles the events of the Watergate Scandal, and is personally hand-signed by President Richard M. Nixon himself. President Nixon, like all authors who are having a Signed Limited Edition published, signed extra sheets to make sure there were sufficient signed sheets after any loss of the pages due to damage occurring during the printing and publishing process. FlatSigned Press has indirectly acquired the remainder of these sheets and bound them into this legendary quality leather book. This is only the third book in literary history to be published in a Signed Limited Edition posthumously. The previous authors who had Signed Limited Editions published after their deaths were Mark Twain with Works of Mark Twain, and Rudyard Kipling with Works of Rudyard Kipling. This impressive volume of history is bound in 100% black leather with 22k gold gilded page block edges, spine lettering, and cover accents. This book features moiré cloth end-leaves and end-pages, Smyth sewn pages, a permanent satin bookmark, and a hubbed spine. Limited to only 94 copies of this Signed Limited Edition, this book is made even more impressive when it is presented in a custom hand-made cherry-wood box with brass handles and hardware, featuring a molded foam insert lined in red-felt to protect the book itself, as well as to hold four audio cassettes of the infamous Watergate Tapes. These are the very same recordings that ultimately led to the only resignation of a President in United States History. Now you can read the history behind the scandal and listen to the recordings that made American history. This volume includes a certificate of authenticity from Flat Signed Press. The volume shows very well, and is like new in the protective case. The book measures approximately 6" x 9". Shipping cost (within the U.S.) for this lot will be: $4.50
