The author signed most of the first copy of the book because he was very close with the president and was effected very much by his death. The books after the 1st editions were not signed. They went door to door back then to try to sell the book but it was so expensive a lot of people did not have the money to but the book so it was an incentive.

my book inscription is exactly like yours so they weren't individually signed?

Sorry they were signed by the author himself but to sell the book because it was the first printing only which was around 200 books were signed.

This book is valued between 75.00 to 150.00 only because there were not many sold because the price the wanted back then for the book was more then most people could afford.

i dont want to argue but they were not individually signed. i put your signature over mine and it is exactly the same. if you look at other people selling this book and look at the signatures they are all the same-even the little times his pen filled in the letter.

Mar 26th, 2015 at 9:19:46 AM PDT by

That was what I was told when I bought the book that he pen signed them.
look on the last page of your book and see if the signature there is the same.
