About This Item
Here is an EXCEEDINGLY RARE and collectible SIGNED copy of Wilbur Smith's novel GOLD MINE
The dust jacket is in great condition! Look around at other copies to confirm how nice this copy is.
A first impression of the British William Heinemann first edition
ORIGINAL DEDICATION PAGE LAID-IN
As usual, this copy has had its dedication/foreword page excised by Heinemann prior to GOLD MINE being offered for sale to the public. However, I excised an original dedication/foreword page from another copy of GOLD MINE that was not in collectible condition, and this ORIGINAL (not a facsimile) page is now included with this SIGNED first edition copy of GOLD MINE.
A must for the serious collector.
NO OTHER COPY WITH DEDICATION PAGE FOR SALE ANYWHERE ELSE AT THE TIME OF LISTING
Due to value, shipping and insurance to overseas buyers will be 2-3 times higher than the Biblio-quoted shipping cost.
The photos are part of the description, so study them carefully, as they are very helpful, and of the actual books being sold.
