About this Item

A highly desirable First Edition copy of the book which has now become a true icon for collectors, primarily of course due to the massive, enduring success of the film for over half a century. This certainly near fine copy in its original, unclipped, much better than very good dust jacket, is made infinitely more collectible as it signed by both director Steven Spielberg and star Richard Dreyfuss. Comes with the official Beckett letter of authenticity. Very Near Fine, the nicest we have seen.
