Important Added Info: Note that this book has been personally autographed (signed) by Richard Burton and there is also a bookplate on the first blank interior page that was signed as well (see our images)! Note that our consignor is a very long time collector who purchased this autographed item (and others that we are currently auctioning) from a very reputable autograph dealer years ago. He (and we) feel sure that it is authentic, but he does not have a certificate of authenticity. Also note that we have pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads. Note that there is also a card inserted into the back of the book that is from the staff of the publisher, and it explains that this book was sent to their "friends" as a special gift at Christmas time, and that they have done that for seven years, but that this is the first Richard Burton signed book, and that his signature is far more scarce than that of Liz Taylor. Condition: good to very good. There are some smudges and tears around the edges of the dust jacket. Learn More about condition grades
