1989 - A Time To Die

William Heinemann published the first British edition on May 30, 1989

Random House published the first American edition on March 23, 1990

I own an exceedingly rare Uncorrected Proof copy

This is even more scarce because Wilbur signed it

I now own only 2 copies of the first printing of the British first edition, including the one Wilbur gave to his mother-in-law

The very copy that Wilbur gifted to his mother-in-law is now in my collection. "Mum" is Danielle's mother.

I have only seen one other signed copy where Wilbur included a date in the year of publication, which copy I bought, making these copies even more rare than they already are.

I have owned and sold several signed copies of A TIME TO DIE. The copies below are first printings.
