[Annapolis: U.S. Naval Academy, 1942. First Edition. Limited to 4,550 copies. The annual Yearbook of the U.S. Naval Academy. Most copies have a printed presentation at the base of the front cover. Usually the presentation is to "Mom & Dad" or other relatives, but this copy is stamped "The White House." Certainly, one of the most desirable copies to be had!! While there was a wartime rationing of paper and other goods, this large tome (weighs more than six pounds) seems to obviously be exempt. Large quarto, gray cloth, stamped in black; 519 pages. Profusely Illustrated. With a collection of tempera paintings of the Naval Academy by Sherman C. Hoeflich (truncated)
