Provenance

I spend a great deal of time writing to authors in order to get books
signed, and in doing so I also include in every letter a Typescript of a favorite or
well-known work with a self-addressed full document sized envelope. Some
authors will no longer sign works or don’t want to be bothered with packaging and
returning volumes (understandably) However on most occasions the fact that they
 have something right in front of them that only takes a quick signature and a
 prepaid envelope for return means that I will at least get something back - if not
 permission to send any books. Thankfully, on most occasions the opposite is true,
 and I am able to send off books to be signed and do not have to use the typescript
 as a ‘lay in’ for a 1st edition. I will also take typescripts to book signings as on
 occasion I like to have them framed. *NOTE* Please be aware that any return
 letters, materials that I have from the authors are NOT included in the auction. For
 the reasons stated above many not only relate to the original returned typescript
 but also to other items I have subsequently received. Many also constitute
 personal correspondence between the authors and myself and contain private
 information such as the author’s home addresses etc.
