Fascinating collection of (18) hardcover books signed by their authors. With subjects ranging from art to politics to poetry to finance, each has been inscribed to Clark Clifford, the influential lawyer who served under presidents Truman, Kennedy, Johnson and Carter. Of note is the inscription from Caroline Kennedy in her book, In our Defense, the Bill of Rights in Action, which reads, "for Clark Clifford with Admiration, Caroline Kennedy". Other authored signed titles (unless noted otherwise) include:
