SAINT-EXUPERY, Antoine de. THE LITTLE PRINCE. New York: Reynal & 
Hitchcock, (1943). First Edition. Copy #365 of 525 numbered copies 
SIGNED by the author on the tipped-in limitation page. The American 
edition appeared before the French or English editions and is 
essentially the only way to obtain a signed edition of this book as the 
author was assigned to fly with the French Free Air Force shortly before 
publication and went missing about a year later while on a mission. This 
special issue of one of the most beloved books of the twentieth century 
is, consequently, one of the most desired limited editions and does not 
come often upon the marketplace. The first issue dustwrapper on this 
copy, though price-clipped, is correctly numbered on the spine. Clean 
and bright with light wear to the spine ends. About Fine in a Near Fine, 
price-clipped dustwrapper with some loss to the spine ends, mostly at 
the top affecting the "T" in "The."

THE LITTLE PRINCE is both the most-read and most-translated book in the 
French language and was voted the best book of the 20th century in 
France. (#021136)        $25,000
