This copy Signed by Mencken and dated by him in 1952, in his post-stroke hand. Mencken had suffered a stroke in 1948 which left him largely incapacitated, and very few, if any, other copies of this title signed by him exist (in an online search we could find only one other post-1948 book signed by him offered for sale - that book published in early 1949).
