A crisp clean copy near fine with the inner hinges just starting but holding. Top edge very faintly foxed. This copy SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Warren Burger on his embossed presentation card which is tipped onto the front paste-down. The name is a bit difficult to read but it is most likely Roswell Perkins who was President of the American Law Institute at the time of publication; certainly someone to whom Burger was likely to have presented this book. Burger had retired as Chief Justice several years before publication but was the Chairman of the committee that organized and published this book. An appealing copy.
