FIRST EDITION / FIRST PRINTING - The Audacity of HopeThis is a first edition, first printing of Barack Obama's second book, The Audacity of Hope.  The number line reads 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 indicating this is indeed a first printing.  The book is in as new condition in an as new dust jacket.  This book was photographed then carefully pillowed in tissue paper, bubble wrap, and boxed in mint condition.  This book was never fully opened - I only took a slim look to ensure the copyright page was indeed a first printing.  These books are becoming more and more rare.  You will rarely buy a book off the shelf in this perfect, untouched condition. Do your homework now and you will realize the incredible value of this combination of books.  The 1995 print run of Dreams from my Father was only 7500 copies and nearly all went to libraries and are marked by the library, and the books have evidence of reading, taping, and other damage.  I went to great lengths to find a like new copy of this book prior to the election.  Unfortunately I can not hold onto it and wait for the value to skyrocket.  My loss will be your gain. Both books will ship free of charge within the continental U.S. and a signature will be required on receipt, no exceptions.  I guarantee the books are in excellent condition as described or I will offer a full refund.  Do not trust your hard earned money in this economy to new ebayers with minimal or poor feedback.  I have sold on ebay many times before and stand by my item descriptions as well as my attention to detail and customer service.  I have included several pictures below of the super-rare 1995 Dreams From My Father.  I will not be accepting best-offers on this book combination set as I have already set the price very aggressively.  This is a take it or leave it price.  The books will remain in my safety deposit box until they are purchased.  If you are interested I also have my other SIGNED copy of Dreams from my Father listed for sale (if it's still available).  This is also listed at an incredible, absolutely will not last price.  There should be a link at the bottom of this page to that book if you are interested.    Email me with any questions you may have.  I will do my best to respond within 12 hours.  If you live outside the U.S., please contact me for an accurate shipping quote.  The automated ebay shipping quote seems to be giving some rediculous shipping costs and I will be able to give you an actual cost as well as cost of optional shipping insurance.  If you think you may ever see the opportunity to have these books signed, you would EASILY quadruple the value of this set from my asking price.  Curently, another very experienced seller with whom I have spoken directly is asking $250,000 (a quarter of a million dollars) for a signed set of these like new books on the website abebooks dot com.  Go to that site, type in 'Obama' under author, then sort by highest price and you will see what I am talking about.  The last few remaining 1995 Dreams, 1st printing books have been rapidly settling into the long-term collectors hands and they will not ever let them go - not for any price because of the historic rarity of this book being published in minimal quantities 13 years before Obama's election! Congratulations Barack Obama!! Place a Bid!
