About this Item

1 leaf, xvi, 226 pp, 6 leaves; illustrations. Original cloth. Near Fine, in dust jacket (the front flap of the dust jacket is not price-clipped, and has the price $5.95) First Edition, First Printing. SIGNED "James D. Watson" on the title page. NOTE ABOUT WHAT IS THE FIRST EDITION. The words "First Edition" are printed on the back of the title page. If the book does not say "First Edition" on the back of the title page, then it is not the first edition. If, in addition to lacking the words "First Edition", there is not a statement of a later printing, then the copy is the Book Club edition. Many copies of the Book Club edition are erroneously described as the First Edition. The dust jacket of the Book Club edition will not have a price printed on the front flap. Of course someone, knowing this, might move a first edition dust jacket on to a copy of the Book Club edition. The Book Club edition will have a small square impressed into the cloth near the bottom of the rear cover. Finally if the publisher is Weidenfeld and Nicolson (in London), the copy is also not the first edition. Rather, it is the first British edition.
