Scarce signed book: Jurassic Park. Uncorrected galley proof of the first edition. NY: Alfred A. Knopf, 1990. Softcover, 6 x 9, 413 pages. Signed and inscribed on the title page in blue felt tip by Michael Crichton, and dated at Los Angeles, August 16, 1992. Most importantly, the signed page bears Crichton's green dinosaur stamp, positioned as though it is chasing the Knopf borzoi. In fine condition. Galley proofs represent a publisher's first in-house print of a book, typically used for editing. Galley proofs regularly show wear from reading and editing, while this rare copy does not. They precede the advanced reading copies typically sent out for review to screenwriters, directors, and critics—notably, in the case of Jurassic Park, Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment bought the rights to the novel prior to its publication. A desirable presentation copy of this proof of Crichton's 1990 classic.
