Description

Magnificently rare signed first edition of the final Dr. Seuss book, Oh, the Places You'll Go!

Signed book: Oh, the Places You'll Go! First edition. NY: Random House, 1990. Hardcover with dust jacket, 8.25 x 11.25. Signed and inscribed adjacent to the half-title page in black ink, "With very best wishes to Stella! Dr. Seuss, May, 1990." In fine condition, with light wear and scratching only to the dust jacket. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA.

Although unconfirmed, it remains highly unlikely that the author performed any public book signings for Oh, the Places You'll Go!, his final book, given that he had experienced complications from his oral cancer prior to the book's release date on January 22, 1990; Dr. Seuss would lose his battle with cancer at the age of 87, on September 24, 1991. Signed examples of Oh, the Places You'll Go!, the last Seuss book to be published during his lifetime, are virtually nonexistent, with RR Auction having sold only two others in June 2021 and October 2022; prior to that, our research reveals that no other example had sold at auction within the past 15 years.
