[Signed] THE DOUBLE HELIX **1st Edition, Signed By James D. Watson and Francis Crick** James D. Watson [Near Fine] [Hardcover]

Description

This is the true first UK edition, first printing (with the 1968 copyright date, and with no later printings listed on the copyright page). ***** This book is SIGNED by both the author (James D. Watson) and Francis Crick (co-author -- along with Watson -- of the 1953 acedemic paper proposing the double helix structure). Both have signed directly on the title page. The authors have not inscribed this book to anyone; it is just signed by the two. ***** Both won the Nobel Prize for their work on DNA. **** Very nice hardcover with dust jacket. There is NO writing, NO bookplates, and NO remainder marks. It is NOT a book club edition and NOT a former library book. The dust jacket is NOT price-clipped (35s net). ***** CONDITION: Both the book and the dust jacket are in NEAR FINE condition (spine slant to the book; slight edgewear to the dust jacket). ***** We include new mylar (clear) dust jacket protectors with all books at no extra charge. ***** OUR GUARANTEE TO YOU: All books are guaranteed to be as described. We believe that no sale is complete until you are happy. Any book is returnable for a full refund (including postage) if you're not 100% satisfied. ***** Thank you!
