Skidelsky, Robert. John Maynard Keynes. Hopes Betrayed: 1883 - 1920

Viking: New York, 1986.  First U.S. edition, published in the U.K. three-years prior.  The first of three volumes in Skidelsky's definitive biography of Keynes. Inscribed and signed by the author, dated in the year of publication.  Not a common signature, especially on U.S. editions. A very good copy.  Spine a little wrinkled, three of four corners bumped, very light tinge of ghosting to front board from dust wrapper design, top of text block a little dusty. Dust wrapper is rubbed with a small piece of front cover missing.
