About This Item
Here is an EXCEEDINGLY RARE and collectible SIGNED copy of Wilbur Smith's novel A FALCON FLIES
The dust jacket is in great condition! Look around at other copies to confirm how nice this copy is.
VERY RARE WITH NO FADING TO SPINE!
A first impression of the British William Heinemann first edition
SIGNED, INSCRIBED & DATED IN 1980 first printing of the first British edition
This is a one-of-a-kind signed copy of this novel, the ONLY copy where Wilbur included a date when he signed.
And, what's more, the date is 1980, the year of publication.
I have been collecting Wilbur for 25+ years now and have never seen another dated copy, not even the copy he gave to his own Mom, which I also own.
June may have been the month of first publication.
A must for the serious collector.
NO OTHER COPY FOR SALE ANYWHERE ELSE AT THE TIME OF THIS LISTING
