The author's first published book

Dawkins, Richard ~ The Selfish Gene : Signed By The Author

Oxford University Press, UK : 1976

The First UK printing published by Oxford University Press, UK in 1976. The BOOK is in near Fine condition. Very light pushing at the spine tips. Some light toning and very light spotting to the text-block as usually encountered due to the quality of the paper stock used. Free from inscriptions. The WRAPPER is complete and is in near Fine condition. Some very light staining to the verso of the wrapper at the spine ends and the upper cover extreme edges but this does not show through to the front. Just some very light fading of the green colouring of the spine and far less than usually encountered. The Desmond Morris wrapper artwork looks striking in the removable Brodart archival cover. The book has been signed (without dedication) by the author to the title page. A copy of the ticket for the signing event accompanies the book as provenance. The author's ground breaking first published work. Extremely scarce with such attributes.
