abstract:A presentation copy is a copy of a book that has been dedicated, illustrated, or signed (without request) by the author, or a book that was a gift from the author. An inscribed copy, by contrast, is one signed by the author at the book owner's request.
An unsurpassable association copy of the best known fiction of the Romantic era, perhaps the most evocative presentationcopy conceivable in all nineteenth-century literature.
