Norwalk, Connecticut: 2000. New. Fine. In shrinkwrap. Collector's Edition. Signed by Gore Vidal on Easton's signature page. Bound in black leather with gilded pages, silk moiré endpapers, a hubbed spine, and a sewn-in satin bookmark. Unread book is tight with solid hinges.

Burr is a portrait of perhaps the most complex and misunderstood of the Founding Fathers. In 1804, while serving as vice president, Aaron Burr fought a duel with his political nemesis, Alexander Hamilton, and killed him. In 1807, he was arrested, tried, and acquitted of treason. In 1833, Burr is newly married, an aging statesman considered a monster by many. Burr retains much of his political influence if not the respect of all. And he is determined to tell his own story.
