First Edition of Bill Clinton's Giving; Signed by Him and Twice by Jacket Designer Carol Devine Carson
First edition of the former president's bestselling call to a life of philanthropy and citizen action, drawn from the global work of the Clinton Foundation. Octavo, original blue boards. Boldly signed by Bill Clinton on the title page. Additionally signed by dust jacket designer Carol Devine Carson on the front panel and rear jacket flap. As longtime art director at Alfred A. Knopf, Carol Devine Carson designed jackets for authors including Joan Didion, Julian Barnes, Lorrie Moore, Graham Swift, and Maya Angelou, relying on a mastery of typography as often as imagery to carry a book's tone. She also mentored a generation of designers, including Chip Kidd, reorienting late-twentieth-century book cover design toward the jacket as a serious visual companion to the text it enclosed. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Carol Devine Carson.
Peter Baker of the Washington Post described Giving as Bill Clinton’s counterpart to his wife’s 1996 book It Takes a Village. Giving details efforts funded by the Clinton Foundation or that Clinton otherwise admires, with a message encouraging readers to join in. The book highlights the charitable work of well-known figures such as Oprah Winfrey, Andre Agassi, and Warren Buffett, explores why each chooses to give, and also gathers many lesser-known instances of everyday generosity.
