About This Item
Here is an EXCEEDINGLY RARE and collectible presentation copy of Wilbur Smith's first novel WHEN THE LION FEEDS
SIGNED "To Kathleen, with all best wishes, Wilbur"
First printing of the first British edition
Wilbur only signed copies simply as "Wilbur" when presenting a book to a close friend or family member. The absence of his surname/last name makes this copy rare a very scarce and desirable.
This copy was signed in 1964, which makes it even more uncommon.
Very scarce and desirable.
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.
Due to value, shipping and insurance to overseas buyers will be 2-3 times higher than the Biblio-quoted shipping cost.
