SOLD
Now asking $1,400. Price includes fully insured shipping. A similar signed first edition sold for over $6,300 through SCP Auctions in April, 2016. I've attached photos showing the overall quality of the book, but note that the signature page was actually removed from another first edition of this book, which was badly damaged by fire. Notice the minor smoke damage on the bottom of the signature page. I had the signed page professionally removed from the fire-damaged copy and placed in this copy of the book. The restoration is not noticeable unless you look very closely along the left border of the signature page, where you can see where the page was cut and adhered. The dust jacket is a reproduction, but was also professionally done and adds to the visual appeal of the piece. The book itself is in fantastic condition with tight binding and crisp, clean pages. This is a very rare first edition, and the period signature would grade a 10. Reasonable offers will be considered. Thank you for looking.
