Louisa May Alcott signed ''Little Women,'' published by Roberts Brothers: Boston 1880. Impossible to find, the author's signature within her masterpiece reads: ''L.M. Alcott'' upon the fly-leaf. An Alcott signed instance of ''Little Women'' has not been sold at auction in over 4 decades. First published in 1869, Alcott's spellbinding novel about four sisters coming of age in the Civil War era has since become a classic. This edition is bound in hunter green cloth boards with gilt and black lettering and design. All edges gilt. Measures 7'' x 8.5''. Surface loss to exterior corners and edges. Cracking to interior front hinge, with detached front free endpaper. A bookplate affixed to the front pastedown indicates this volume was gifted to the Brookline Public Library in 1917. In addition, the library's perforated label appears at the bottom of the title page. A news clipping of Alcott's obituary has been affixed to integral blanks. A label affixed to the rear pastedown reads: ''This book is for use in the library building only'' and a barcode label has been partially removed from the rear free endpaper, else very good. With PSA/DNA COA.
