The Audacity of Hope. Signed by Barack Obama. First edition, First Printing. Crown, 2006.

The second book written during his service as a state senator of Illinois, Obama’s The Audacity of Hope immediately rose to number one on both The New York Times’ and Amazon’s bestseller lists following its publication in 2006. Appearing only three months prior to announcing his intention to run in the 2008 presidential race, this instant best-seller preceded one of the most important presidential wins in American history. The Audacity of Hope expands on themes that Obama addressed during his keynote speech of the same name at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, an appearance that largely propelled him into the public eye and helped to secure his future nomination for presidency.

This signed first edition, first printing is in very good condition. In the original black boards, very good with only rubbing and some bumping to spine ends. Text block fine. In the original dust jacket, about-fine with only rubbing and bumping to edges. Signing event slip laid in.

A very good first edition of the 44th president’s bestselling title, signed by him.
