Lot of forty signed books, measuring approximately 8.5" x 6" to 10" x 8", all in fine to very good condition. The collection was assembled by a longtime stage manager for NBC's Today show, with many of the books personally signed and inscribed by notable guests appearing on the program over several decades. Highlights include signed books by Shelby Foote, Dan Brown (two books), Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, Gary Trudeau, Billy Crystal, President Bill Clinton, President Richard M. Nixon, John Grisham, Peter Collier and David Horowitz, Ted Sorensen, and astronaut John Glenn (two books). Many volumes feature personalized inscriptions, salutations, and dates, reflecting their direct presentation to a longtime member of the Today show production staff. Included is a photograph depicting Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein signing books on the Today show set, providing an illustrative example of how the autographs in this collection were obtained through personal encounters with guests over many years. A unique provenance collection spanning politics, history, journalism, literature, entertainment, and space exploration, assembled through decades of interactions with some of the most recognizable figures of their respective fields. Please note: Due to the size and weight of this collection, this lot is being offered as local pickup only. Pickup is available at our facility in Connecticut, located approximately 90 minutes north of New York City.
