A Vintage Autographed Hardcover Book (measures 6 1/2" x 9 1/2" [17 x 24 cm]; 390 pages) (Learn More) Walter Cronkite was a legendary broadcast journalist and television (TV) news anchorman from the 1950s to the 1980s. He is best remembered at the anchorman for the CBS Evening News, which he anchored for 19 years! He retired in 1980, when he was about to turn 65, because at that time, CBS had a mandatory retirement age. He ended up living 29 more years, and he later said that if he had any idea that he would live so long, he would have kept working much longer, and everyone who watched him at his job wishes he had done so. Cronkite passed away in 2009 at the age of 92. Important Added Info: Note that this item has been personally autographed (signed) by Walter Cronkite! We have pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads. Note that this item was consigned to us by an individual who owned a company that made movies and videos with famous celebrities in the 1980s and 1990s. The owner of the company would have the celebrities sign items from their famous films, and sometimes he would find second or third celebrities to autograph an item he already had gotten signed! In addition, he would ask celebrities he came in contact with if they had signed items from other stars that they would sell to him, and he purchased a number of items that way. He also would purchase unsigned items from the famed Larry Edmunds Bookshop in Los Angeles (to have the celebrities sign), and while he was doing that he would also purchase some of their signed items. So all of the items we have been consigned from this consignor were either obtained in person, obtained from celebrities who obtained them in person, or obtained from the Larry Edmunds Bookshop, and we feel certain that the autograph on this item is authentic! Condition: very good to fine. The dust jacket is in a protective sleeve. Learn More about condition grades
