SIGNED Early Titles by the Legendary Author/Creator of Jurassic Park and Westworld are Scarce and Becoming Increasingly Hard to Find!! Hardcover with its original dust jacket. Published by Alfred A. Knopf: New York, 1972. Boldly SIGNED on the title page by the great Michael Crichton! NOT inscribed to anyone, simply SIGNED by the celebrated author! Please note there is an additional signature present on this page! Initially, we believed the other signature might be of some importance. Unfortunately, we have been unable to ascertain, with an acceptable degree of certainty, the identity of the other individual who also put their signature on this page.For this reason, we MUST proceed with an abundance of caution and assume the other signature is simply the name of a previous owner.The additional signature adds no monetary value or has any cultural significance. If anything, the additional signature should be viewed as an unfortunate flaw!Once again, we want to repeat that there is another signature present on the same page as the Michael Crichton signature and we believe this signature is simply the name of a previous owner. A First American Book Club Edition, (BCE). Please remember this is NOT a First Edition/First Printing! This is the First BCE, essentially an early reprint. Once again, this is not the First Edition/First Printing of this title! This rare treasure has some clearly visible wear/age, but is still in Highly Desirable, Highly Collectible condition! The wear, however, should be carefully examined/considered BEFORE buying. The book appears gently read and has no internal writing, no remainder marks, no missing pages and is NOT Ex-Libris. The binding is holding tight and the pages are still surprisingly crisp and clean!

All of the wear previously mentioned is clearly visible and should be carefully examined/considered. The original dust jacket is fully intact. Some general/shelf wear along with creases, scuffing, marks, foxing and rips. Please note the wear on the spine, at the corners and near/along the edges. The wear, particularly near/along the edges, is clearly visible and should be carefully examined/considered. We tend to grade the condition of our books rather harshly and took into consideration any and all wear when determining the value of this rare book. We purposely and closely photographed what we consider to be the most obvious and egregious wear. Once again, we want to reiterate that the wear to both the book and the dust jacket is clearly visible! All of the wear should be carefully examined/considered BEFORE buying. Numerous photographs from various angles were taken for your consideration/inspection. Please closely and carefully view ALL the pictures for further clarification!!
