New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1924. 1^st ed. dark green cloth hardcover w/gilt titling to spine and front board, 8vo (8.5x5.5”) Very Good+/n.a., 323pp.  A slight bit of fading to gilt titling on spine, a previous owner’s signature on the front paste-down, and a very small amount of foxing at the top of the frontis and tissue paper shield are all that keep this wondrous tome from being labeled fine.  Note: scratches in photos are on the protective cover.  No scratches are discernible on the book itself.

Anna Roosevelt Cowles was Theodore Roosevelt’s older sister. Contained herein are her chosen letters from him for publication and binding.  A fascinating glimpse into the personal life of one of America’s greatest presidents.  What a marvelous Capture of Tyme have we here – truly a distinctive and informative book indeed.
