New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2004. SIGNED by President Bill Clinton (his signature only, NOT personalized to anyone). NEW in a NEW dust jacket. Near PERFECT condition. The jacket shows just a tiny bit of very mild shelfwear (like you sometimes find in any new book store). NO tears, chips or fading. The dust jacket is NOT price clipped ($35.00). Bright, shiny, clean, square, and tight. Sharp corners. NO owner's name. NOT a remainder. Pages are fresh and crisp -- obviously never read. Illustrated with 32 pages of photos. Bound in the original dark blue boards, lettered in shiny gold on the spine, and with "William J. Clinton" blindstamped on the front cover. From the dust jacket: "President Bill Clinton's MY LIFE is the strikingly candid portrait of a global leader who decided early in life to devote his intellectual and political gifts, and his extraordinary capacity for hard work, to serving the public. It shows us the progress of a remarkable American, who, through his own enormous energies and efforts, made the unlikely journey from Hope, Arkansas, to the White House -- a journey fueled by an impassioned interest in the political process which manifested itself at every stage of his life: in college, working as an intern for Senator William Fulbright; at Oxford, becoming part of the Vietnam War protest movement; at Yale Law School, campaigning on the grassroots level for Democratic candidates; back in Arkansas, running for Congress, attorney general, and governor. We see his career shaped by his resolute determination to improve the life of his fellow citizens, an unfaltering commitment to civil rights, and an exceptional understanding of the practicalities of political life. We come to understand the emotional pressures of his youth -- born after his father's death; caught in the dysfunctional relationship between his feisty, nurturing mother and his abusive stepfather, whom he never ceased to love and whose name he took; drawn to the brilliant, compelling Hillary Rodham, whom he was determined to marry; passionately devoted, from her infancy, to their daughter, Chelsea, and to the entire experience of fatherhood; slowly and painfully beginning to comprehend how his early denial of pain led him at times into damaging patterns of behavior. President Clinton's book is also the fullest, most concretely detailed, most nuanced account of a presidency ever written -- encompassing not only the high points and crises but the way the presidency actually works: the day-to-day bombardment of problems, personalities, conflicts, setbacks, achievements. It is a testament to the positive impact on America and on the world of his work and his ideals. It is the gripping account of a president under concerted and unrelenting assault orchestrated by his enemies on the Far Right, and how he survived and prevailed.". Signed by Bill Clinton. First Edition (so stated). Hardcover. New/New. 8vo. (vi), 957pp. + xliv (acknowledgements, index). Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

New York: Knopf, 2004. First edition. Fine in like jacket.. Signed first printing, first state ("failure"), of this best-selling memoir from the former President. Covering his growing up in Arkansas, Yale years, early political career, and election as one of the youngest governors in US history, through his eight years as President, this (some reviewers said overly) long and detailed memoir earned Clinton a record $15 million dollar advance before its 2004 release and was in many ways an attempt to rejuvenate his tarnished image. 9'' x 6''. Original blue boards. In unclipped ($35.00) original dust jacket. 957, [1] pages, plus acknowledgments and index. Signed by Clinton on title page. Bright, clean, and sharp.
