“With the deep admiration and gratitude of the author…”

Often the closest we can get to our literary and political heroes is to own a copy of a book that they have also held in their hands and inscribed to a reader, a colleague, possibly even to a close friend or to someone they, in turn, admired. The author’s inscription and signature gives the book a personal dimension—which is what makes these copies such a prize for the collector. The following is a small selection of the wide variety of signed, inscribed, presentation and association copies that we currently have in stock, across all fields: from sports to presidential, children’s to economics, art and photography to literature.
