The source of the date of publication and the number of copies printed is the Picador archive.
COLLECTING TOPICS: unsigned copies are common. However, finding a truly fine copy can be a bit challenging as the high humidity level in England often causes the waving of the text block. As for genuinely signed or inscribed copies, I have not seen any of them.
