Black Prince by Murdoch Iris, Signed (3 results)

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Special Edition. An extremely rare SIGNED advance proof from 1973; this is paper covered and it screams 'authentic' because it is without any attempt to make it look good. The paper it's printed on is pulpy stuff. It has a flimsy unadorned cover which has been left out in the sun. It has just the title, publisher and author's name printed on it in black. This is, however, the very first version of this celebrated novel, and it was issued in a tiny number, and as far as I know this is the only copy to be SIGNED. Signed by Author.
