Signed Limited Collector's Edition: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Signed by Edward Albee

This entry features a masterpiece of 20th-century American drama: a Signed Limited Edition of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, hand-signed by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Edward Albee. Published in 1999 by The Easton Press as part of their "Signed Modern Classics" series, this fine leather-bound volume presents Albee’s landmark 1962 play in an exquisite, permanent collector’s format.

First premiering on Broadway in October 1962, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? revolutionized modern theater with its razor-sharp wit, psychological intensity, and searing exploration of marriage, illusion, and emotional warfare. Centering on the late-night, alcohol-fueled battles between middle-aged associate professor George and his volatile wife Martha, the play won the 1963 Tony Award for Best Play and established Albee as one of the most vital theatrical voices of his generation.

Bound in full rich dark brown premium leather, the binding showcases elaborate gilt-stamped filigree motifs on both covers and spine, complemented by three raised spine hubs, all-gilt page edges, silk moiré endpapers, and a sewn-in satin ribbon bookmark. On a dedicated limitation leaf, Edward Albee has personally hand-signed his autograph in blue ink. The volume is accompanied by the publisher's original Certificate of Authenticity (signed and dated August 16, 1999) along with the printed collector's collector-note pamphlet. Remaining in pristine, mint condition, the book exhibits crisp gold tooling, flawless endpapers, tight binding, and sharp unblemished leather corners throughout. Signed by the playwright himself in a premier fine binding, this edition represents a cornerstone volume for collectors of modern American drama and fine press literature.
