Campobello: Roosevelt's "Beloved Island" by Stephen O. Muskie (not authenticated)

This physical item is a softcover or hardcover photography and text book resting on a wooden surface. The cover features a landscape photograph of a coastal island or body of water at sunset, displaying dark landmasses against a warm, glowing sky and water with golden light reflections. The typography on the front cover is prominently displayed in multiple styles and colors: the title reads "CAMPOBELLO:" in large, bold, yellow sans-serif capital letters; the subtitle reads "Roosevelt's "Beloved Island"" in red italicized serif font; the credit reads "photographs & text by" in smaller yellow serif italics; and the author's name reads "STEPHEN O. MUSKIE" in large, bold, yellow sans-serif capital letters near the bottom. The background of the cover below the photograph is solid black. Regarding condition, the book appears to be in fair condition, showing visible wear around the edges, corners, and spine, with some slight creasing, scuffing, and edge chipping typical of a well-handled vintage publication. The user-supplied context states that the item has a copyright year of 1982 and is in fair condition, which remains unverified by physical inspection. The identification of the book relies entirely on the clearly legible title, subtitle, and author text printed directly on the front cover. The item category is consistent with photographic literature and regional books from the late 20th century.

Based on the provided image and user-supplied information, I have examined this item, which presents as a copy of the book 'Campobello: Roosevelt's "Beloved Island"' with photographs and text by Stephen O. Muskie. The cover prominently features the title and author against a sunset landscape. Per the user submission, this publication has a copyright year of 1982 and is in fair condition. From what I can see in the image, the physical condition aligns with the owner's assessment, showing visible edge wear, corner bumping, and creasing typical of a well-handled, vintage mass-market or regional publication. I cannot physically inspect the binding, inner pages, or copyright page to fully assess the internal condition or check for any potential signatures. The estimated value reflects typical secondary market behavior for regional photography and history books from the late 20th century in fair condition. Such titles generally have limited collector demand unless they are pristine, first editions, or bear an author's inscription. Without any notable provenance or signatures, this book serves primarily as a reading or reference copy, which keeps its market value modest. If an in-person inspection were to reveal an inscription by the author or exceptional internal condition, the value might slightly increase, but as a standard reading copy, it remains in the lower appraisal range.
