Easton Press Books Appraisal

Signed Easton Press Edition of "American Values" by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

This item is an autograph page from a fine-press, leather-bound edition of the book 'American Values' published by the Easton Press as part of their 'Signed Modern Classics' series. The page is constructed of high-quality, acid-neutral archival paper with a smooth, cream-colored finish, bordered by a classic black double-rule frame. The signature of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is prominently displayed in bold black ink, exhibiting clear fluid strokes and legitimate pressure variations consistent with an authentic hand-signed inscription. To the left, the official 'Easton Press Signed Modern Classics' logo is printed, featuring a circular crest with a book icon and laurel leaves, signifying a limited or special production run. The condition appears to be excellent, with sharp corners and no visible foxing, tearing, or yellowing, suggesting it has been well-preserved within its protective binding. As an Easton Press volume, the book itself would typically feature premium materials such as top-grain leather covers, 22kt gold accents on the spine, silk moiré endpapers, and a sewn-in satin ribbon page marker. The presence of the dedicated signature page, which includes the printed attestation 'This leather-bound edition of American Values is personally signed by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.', is a key indicator of its provenance within the collector's market.
