For the long plane rides to and from Japan, I like to have along a book or two to read.
I was going through my bookshelves to see what books to bring along and I pulled out former President Richard Nixon's 1990 book, "In The Arena."
It's been a while since I read the book and when I opened it, I found something that I had completely forgotten about: it had a bookplate from the Richard Nixon Library and Birthplace with President Nixon's autograph. (See the photograph above.)
Nixon died from a massive stroke in April 1994.
Well, since the book has his signature and is still in good shape, that eliminated it from consideration to bring to Japan. A cursory check found that a signed copy of "In The Arena" fetches anywhere between $200-$500.
Looks like I'll have to find another book to bring.
By the way, I highly recommend Nixon's book. It is inspiring as it tells how he overcame adversity and career ruin. My grade: A+.
