First edition of Bush's warm and insightful autobiography. Octavo, original half cloth, illustrated. Boldly signed by George W. Bush on the front free endpaper. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Richard Aquan. Jacket photograph by Michael O'Brien. Accompanied by a collectible presidential rosewood box and pen set bearing the presidential seal.
In this political memoir, the governor of Texas tells us who he is and what he stands for. The George W. Bush who leaps off these pages has his father's energy, his mother's tart and honest wit, and his own irreverence and impatience. He has prospered as George and Barbara's boy -- "How can I deny it?" -- but has walked a very fine line between loyalty and independence. He addresses the questions that may well decide who becomes the next president: crime, education, abortion, tax and tort reform, and the continuing battle "for the soul" of the Republican Party.
