h o r n w i l l o w p r e s s is delighted to announce the seventh volume in our American Presidency series: Nine Lives of Theodore Roosevelt, by Edmund Morris.

Mr. Morris, the Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer of Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan, decants the personality of our most vibrant chief executive since the Founding Fathers.

Drawing from a lifetime of study, this new portrait illuminates the essential aspects of the man called TR. E d mu nd Mor r is is t he aut hor of a biographical trilogy on the life of the 26th president. Volume I, The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, won the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award in 19 8 0. Its sequel, Theodore Rex (2 0 0 1 ), won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for biography. “As a literary work on Theodore Roosevelt, it is unlikely ever to be surpassed,� the Times Literary Supplement

declared. When Colonel Roosevelt appeared in 2010, the New York Times commented: “The magnum opus is complete. And it deserves to stand as the definitive study of its restless, mutable, ever-boyish, erudite and tirelessly energetic subject.�

Crafted start to finish at our Newburgh, New York headquarters, our artisans letterpress printed the text and bound each copy by hand. Handsomely appointed in a green Moroccan goatskin and green rain pattern pastepaper cover, with terracotta basketweave pastepaper endpapers, the volume is presented in a cloth clamshell box. This edition is strictly limited to 300 copies, each numbered and signed by the author.
