Description
FN/FN inscribed and signed by Dick Cheney and his wife Lynne Cheney. SUPER RARE (one of a kind). For the true collector an item that most likely will never come on the market again. Mr. Cheney rarely signed anything. Here is an excerpt from the Huffington Post about the Authorship.Back in the mid 1980s when I was writing a biography of Alice Roosevelt Longworth, I called Lynne Cheney, then a senior editor at the Washingtonian magazine. I had in hand Kings of the Hill: Power and Personality in the House of Representatives, co-written, or so the cover indicated, by her husband, and published in 1983. It remains a lively collection of profiles of eight powerful House Leaders, from Henry Clay to Sam Rayburn, and includes a chapter on Alice's husband, Speaker of the House Nick Longworth. (by Ms Felsenthal) Nick was a charmer from Cincinnati; his family owned the prized pottery company Rookwood. He was a near concert quality violinist, the life at every party, a ladies man, and also a heavy drinker. Once it was clear that her father would never return to what she considered his rightful place at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Alice wanted Nick to be president. Nick did not cooperate. "Nick would rather be tight than president," she used to sneer. Alice's only child was fathered not by Nick, but by her soul mate, Idaho Senator William Borah.(apparently Mr. Cheney did not remember writing the book. When asked if he would consider writing a book once out of office, he  replied he did not know , since he never had written a book. This one must have slipped his memory or perhaps it was mainly written by his wife with him contributing.) Whatever the case may be, to find this book with both of their Signature will be a coup de Etat for the collector
