Description
Lindbergh's Autobiography, Signed on the Frontispiece Portrait
Charles Lindbergh Signed Book: We, with JSA
LOA. (New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1927). First edition,
nineteenth impression. Beautifully signed in blue fountain pen on
the frontis, an image of him standing next to his plane (We?) the
Spirit of St. Louis: " Charles A. Lindbergh". This
book was published only 57 days after Lindbergh completed his
historic Orteig Prize-winning first-ever non-stop solo
transatlantic flight from New York (Roosevelt Field) to Paris (Le
Bourget) on May 20-21, 1927, in the single-engine Ryan monoplane.
It had been ghost-written based on interviews but Lindbergh
rejected the book's galley proofs as "cheaply done" and written in
a "false, fawning" tone and set about to re-write it by longhand,
taking only three weeks, and delaying the publication less than a
month. It was reprinted dozens of times and sold more than 650,000
copies in the first year earning the young aviator $250,000 in
royalties. Blue cloth with gilt titles and plane image, octavo, 318
pages, frontispiece photograph, illustrations throughout. Front
hinge starting, gilt fading, light wear, a very presentable copy
with a great signature on a desirable photo. Included with this lot
is a full JSA LOA.
