About this Item

DEDICATION COPY. SIGNED TWICE by Charlton Heston, including a warm personal inscription to the grandson, Jack, to whom the book is dedicated. New York: Simon & Schuster, 1997. First edition, first printing, with full number line including the 1. Hardcover. Quarter rust cloth over burgundy paper-covered boards with gilt spine lettering. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Pen marks lower edge. Publisher's original price of $17.95 intact on jacket flap. Comes with archival-quality mylar dust jacket protector. A tight, clean copy. Octavo, 127 pages. Beige endpapers. Includes a section of black-and-white photographs. Signed by Heston without inscription on the title page, and signed and inscribed again on page 127, where he inscribes: All my love, BA, in a personal note to his grandson (to whom the book is dedicated). On the same page and preceding page, Heston has circled several lines from the closing Kipling poem in ink and made an arrow pointing to the picture of an infant Jack on p.126. "Ba", of course, is likely a familial nickname used by or for Heston himself, possibly a term of affection from his grandson. An extraordinary dedication copy, unique among examples of this title.
