Signed book: Rabenort's Geography by William Rabenort. Later printing. NY: American Book Company, 1924. Hardcover, 5.75 x 8.25, 222 pages. Signed on the first free end page in fountain pen with an ownership signature, “Truman Capote, St. John’s Military School,” with "Military School" crossed out and replaced with "Bug House" by Capote. On the front cover he has also written, “Truman” twice in ink. Autographic condition: various pencil notations and a small tear to top of the signed page, otherwise fine; signature itself remains crisp and bold. Book condition: G/None. Brown cloth-covered boards; edges worn, with chips and tears in cloth at corners, spine-ends and along spine-edges; discolored, with light waterstain along edges of covers and textblock; few words in pen and heavy soiling to exterior, including small area of multi-colored paint on rear cover; front hinge starting; several handwritten notes to endpapers and few penmarks throughout. In 1936, Capote’s mother withdrew him from Manhattan’s Trinity School and enrolled him in St. John’s Military Academy, where he endured bullying from the other students. In his 1966 book A Christmas Memory, Capote writes of this time, ‘Those who Know Best decide that I belong in a military School. And so follows a miserable succession of bugle-blowing prisons, grim reveille-ridden summer camps.’
