"Where's the Rest of Me" The Ronald Reagan Story (Pres. Reagan's first book, 1965)

First Edition, First Printing. Fine in a fine, first state dust jacket. Reagan's first book, this autobiography was written to coincide with his successful 1966 run for Governor of California and helped launch his political career. In it, Reagan recounts his Hollywood career and how he changed from liberal to conservative when he realized subversive forces were going to take over Hollywood. Almost as new in publisher's original black cloth with gilt title and lettering on the spine. Illustrated with 17 photographs. Prior owners' small name stamp on the inside cover and title page. Octavo. 5.75" x 8.25, 316 pp. An absolutely lovely copy of this important work from one of the 20th Century's most influential politicians. 

The title, "Where's the rest of me?" is Reagan's famous line from his hit movie "King's Row," where, lying in a hospital bed, he reaches down only to realize his legs have been amputated.
