DAHL, Roald. — Selected Stories

Near Fine Very Good Signed by Author(s) The Modern Library New York (185 x 130mm). First Modern Library Edition. An attractive copy of Roald Dahl's classic collection of short stories, complete with its original dust jacket. This copy contains two original inscriptions by Roald Dahl: a full signature in green ink on the half title page and a personal inscription on the verso front free endpaper reading, "To Whitney, Love, Roald Dahl". The book has also been penciled "Presentation copy by author", apparently by a previous owner or bookseller, making the double inscription an especially interesting feature of this copy. Clean contents, tight binding, spine ends slightly bumped, no writing apart from the author's inscriptions, and light age toning only. Original price-clipped dust jacket with light rubbing to the extremities, minor shelf wear, and presenting exceptionally well. A highly desirable signed Roald Dahl collectible. Copies featuring both a personal inscription and a separate signature are encountered only infrequently, making this an especially appealing example for collectors of modern literature.
