Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. SIGNED Cheiro's famous book on ghosts, RARE signed. Born William John Warner, he became a celebrated clairvoyant, astrologer and palm reader and authored several well known books on these topics. He told the fortune of many celebrated figures of his day, including Mark Twain, Thomas Edison and Oscar Wilde. This copy is in very good condition. Please see photos, all of which are of this copy. The book is essentially sound, with in fact very clean pages with only some foxing on outer edges but remarkably clear in text itself save for a few spots on just a few pages. Some give to spine but nothing too serious. The title page seems missing (and one other page -Part 1 title page- is unattached but present, see photos), all other pages seem present. Generally though the pages seem attached OK, some gentle handling needed as with many popular books from this era. FEP has small indent of earlier pencilled price but not especially evident. Cover retains its picture by Countess Hamon clearly, and the spine is quite nice with some nicking to top and bottom.Rear cover illustration remains very nice. It is assumed to be a first edition (for example due to the signature) but could be second possibly. Estimated date 1928. Most significant is that is is SIGNED by Cheiro beneath his photo, which he seems to have done with a number of copies. Overall: a little care needed with turning pages; pages themselves are largely very bright and clean; covers are pretty good; signature is very nice indeed. Very rare with the signature in place. Dispatched with care. Please ask if further questions. Signed by Author(s).
