    Watson, James D.

    Genes, Girls and Gamow

    The Accidental Bookseller

    Oxford University Press: Oxford (UK), 2001.  The true first edition, preceding the US edition published by Knopf later that year. Signed by the author, a Nobel Laureate for the discovery (along with Francis Crick) of the structure of DNA. Spine a little leaning, minor bump to top front board and one corner, otherwise nearly fine in very good or better dust wrapper, slightly edgeworn and with one minor snag. While signed copies of the US edition are not uncommon, signed copies of the UK first are difficult to find — even more so without an inscription.
