Description

"The Sword in the Stone" by T.H. White is a signed 1st edition (U.S.) book published by G.P. Putnam's Sons in 1939 in New York, NY. This original English edition includes illustrations by Robert Lawson, making it a valuable collector's item for fans of literature, fairy tales, and fantasy. This special edition is a rare find for enthusiasts of classic children's books and signed memorabilia. Extremely rare and highly sought after SIGNED 1st Edition of the children's classic The Sword in The Stone by T.H. White. Mr. White was a recluse later in life and signed copies of any of his novels are very very rare to come by. I've compared the signature to the few examples I've found online and it appears to be authentic. It is one uninterrupted signing, with no lifting or hesitation from the signer, just as T.H. White was known for doing. The book itself is in great condition throughout. Front and rear covers are well preserved with little to no fading. There are a few soft corners, and they are free from stains or noticeable damage. The binding is tight, has no loose pages, and the spine is square with no leaning. Pages are slightly yellowed due to age, but are still crisp and clean, with no stains or marking. End papers are clean and bright, with no marks or damage. This is a great collector book, in excellent condition, and would make an awesome gift for someone, or just a great addition to someone's personal collection.

  1. Arrived safely packaged and as described. Awesome book, hope it grades well so it can become a treasured part of my PC. Took a gamble with this seller, as they never once answered my multiple product inquiries, so buyer due diligence is required.

  2. Very quick shipping and item true to description. Bought a signed Stephen King book as a birthday present and it came in time despite item coming from America and me living in Australia. Thank you Hobby Headquarters
