Signed Limited First Edition Book: Hand-Signed by Tim Russert (Wisdom of Our Fathers — Factory Sealed Easton Press Edition)
This entry showcases an authentic, primary-source piece of American broadcast journalism history, modern non-fiction literature, and fine leather-bound book collector ephemera: an official Easton Press Signed First Edition copy of Wisdom of Our Fathers: Lessons and Letters from Daughters and Sons, hand-signed on a dedicated preliminary leaf by legendary news anchor and journalist Tim Russert.
A towering figure in American political journalism, Timothy John Russert (1950–2008) served as the longest-tenured moderator of NBC's Meet the Press for over sixteen years. Following his runaway #1 bestseller Big Russ and Me, Russert compiled Wisdom of Our Fathers, a heartwarming collection of personal letters and reflections submitted by readers across the country celebrating fatherhood, guidance, and generational heritage.
Published by The Easton Press (Norwalk, Connecticut), this deluxe edition is bound in full genuine black leather adorned with elaborate 22kt gold-stamped geometric cover patterns, border filigree, and spine lettering. The spine prominently features raised hubs alongside an official gold-stamped edition designation:
"SIGNED FIRST EDITION"
Crafted to premium archival standards, the volume includes all-gilt page edges, premium acid-neutral paper, silk moiré endpapers, and a sewn-in satin ribbon page marker.
Preserved in immaculate, brand-new condition, the book remains completely factory sealed in its original publisher shrinkwrap, guaranteeing pristine protection for the leather binding, gilding, and internal author signature.
This sealed leather-bound volume serves as an essential centerpiece for Tim Russert completists, broadcast journalism archivists, and fine leather-bound library displays.
