Lot Description
BIDEN, Joseph R. (b. 1942). Promise Me. Dad. New York: Flatiron Books, 2017.
8vo. Publisher's ivory cloth; original dust jacket; cloth slipcase. Provenance: "Joy" (presentation inscription)
FIRST EDITION, INSCRIBED BY JOE BIDEN ON TITLE PAGE, "Joy - Keep the faith! - Joe Biden, 12-29-19." In Promise Me, Dad Biden reflects on the loss of his son to brain cancer. Vanity Fair described it as a “brisk, often uplifting read, a consequence of its author’s congenital jollity and irrepressible candor.”
