Virginia Woolf Signed Copy of Orlando For Sale

The folks at Paul Fraser Collectibles always have interesting Book and Manuscripts items to sell. They even have locks of hair from famous authors and world leaders for sale at very affordable prices. The Signed Orlando is very special and is at a fair price given its importance and rarity. The Paul Fraser site is one you may want to bookmark, I also recieve their newsletter which is always full of very interesting information. Here is the scoop on Orlando:

Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) is often regarded as one of the foremost modernist figures in literature of the 20th century.

Her most famous works include Orlando, Mrs Dalloway and To the Lighthouse.

After battling bouts of depression for much of her life, Woolf filled her pockets with stones and drowned herself in the River Ouse near her home in Sussex in 1941.

This magnificent book is a hardcover limited edition of Orlando, measuring 6.25" x 9.25". It is one of a limited edition of only 800 copies of the book signed by the author, this being number 465.

Orlando, published in 1928, is a novel partly based on Woolf's lover Vita Sackville-West.

The book has been signed by Woolf in purple ink on the reverse of the half title page. The autograph is in excellent condition.

The book also features an owner's bookplate which has been affixed to the front pastedown showing the books original owner was the famous American Impressionist landscape painter Daniel Garber. This copy originates from Garber's personal library - the bookplate reads "Ex Libris - Daniel and Mary F Garber". Garber's paintings are now on display at the Smithsonian in Washington D.C.

Pencil notations have been made on the first, blank page. The book also features some light overall toning and some light sunning to the spine, otherwise it is in fine condition.
