About This Item
Here is an EXCEEDINGLY RARE and collectible copy of Wilbur Smith's first novel WHEN THE LION FEEDS
SIGNED "Wilbur A. Smith"
First printing of the first British edition (reprinted before publication)
Wilbur only signed a small number of copies where he included his middle initial (A. is for Addison). Wilbur explained why he ceased including the "A":
"I thought it [the inclusion of the A in his signature] looked pretentious and it certainly took up much time when I was signing."
Very scarce and desirable; imported from South Africa (originally sold in Pretoria)
The dust jacket is in great condition! Look around at other copies to confirm how nice this copy is.
The photos are part of the description, so study them carefully, as they are very helpful, and of the actual books being sold.
