Many signed multi-volume limited editions include the author’s autograph in the first book only, but this set has Kipling’s signature opposite the half-title page in all three! The books are in good condition with moderate wear and some warping on the covers; the signature page in volume three has come loose from the binding.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
