Fantasy Press, PA, 1953 Limited Numbered First Edition, First PrintingÂNear fine book with a vibrant dust jacket, signed by Heinlein on the limited edition page as Number 13. Inscribed by the author on the limitation page: âTo C.A. Prohaska, Sincerely, R.A. Heinleinâ and hand-numbered 13 of 500 Limited signed Firsts. Robert Heinlein signed very few books, other than his few limited editions. (Compare the rarity of his signature, yet alone an inscription, to others of his contemporaries such as Bradbury, Asimov or Clarke.) The book is in lovely near fine condition with terra cotta red boards with some faint discoloration. Gilt titles to spine. The boards have No edgewear, very sharp corners, and a square and tight binding. Robert Heinlein inscribed the book to âTo C.A. Prohaska, Sincerely, R.A. Heinleinâ and hand-numbered the edition as 13 of 500 Limited signed Firsts. The interior of the book in in fine unread condition with bright, flat and clean pages with no marks, no inscriptions, no foxing, no stains and no age toning to the pages. The original ownerâs bookplate is neatly obscured behind the front flap of the jacket, however we found the artwork to be a stunning âCartier bookplateâ with spectacular art, so we have included an image of the bookplate in the listing. Internally the book appears as unread. Beautiful condition book. Please see images. The original unrestored dust jacket is in very good condition with some slight rubbing and nicking. Please see images for more details. Scarce signed and inscribed collectible book in great condition. Would make a wonderful special gift for a Heinlein collector. ADDITIONAL IMAGES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. Please see our store for additional rare SciFi titles. …

Store description
We buy and sell rare books and support our customers with expert advice and first class service. We focus primarily on the James Bond series, Science Fiction, Rare Children¿s books, and select other rare books. Because of our specialization, we have developed a deep expertise in these categories and are able to offer a good selection of authors and titles across the quality and price spectrum. To be able to offer rare books of extraordinary quality, we have cultivated relationships with several premier conservators, who restore and conserve books on behalf of museums and private collectors. Our approach has lead to satisfied customers who have become repeat buyers, many of whom have built attractive collections as alternative investments. Our commitment to customers is backed by our return policy, which is simple: if you are not happy with your purchase, you may return the book for a full refund.…
