Big Venus, Signed (1 results)

Hardcover. First Edition. Signed by Author. A rare complete set of the six Lucky Starr novels by Isaac Asimov (written under the pseudonym Paul French). The first 4 titles are all inscribed and signed by Asimov to Stephen Landan, with the final two novels signed via stickers / bookplate. These books are rare on the market with several having no copies available with DJ (signed or unsigned). Signed copies are particularly rare and I have found no history of a complete set being available for sale.
