NOT SIGNED, BUT...
I’ve just started reading The Map of Time by Felix J. Palma. This novel, already a bestseller in Europe, is set in Victorian London where a skeptical H.G. Wells is called upon to investigate purported incidents of time travel and to save lives and literary classics including Dracula and The Time Machine from being wiped from existence. This imaginative fantasy weaves several plots together as it explores the question: What happens if we change history? We do not have true first editions (it is translated from the Spanish) and we do not have signed copies. What we can get is first U.S. editions. So far, I’m loving this book and urge you to order a copy - preferably from us! $26.00
