The Sleeping Beauty 
Signed & Illustrated by Edmund Dulac, First Ed.

$4,100 excluding sales tax

This blue leather, first edition of The Sleeping Beauty is signed by the illustrator, Edmund Dulac. One of 1,000 copies ever printed, this is an exceptionally rare find—copy number 453.

True to its name, this book is an absolute beauty. And don't take this as official investment advice, but I have a strong suspicion that it will only increase in value over the years.

Between the exquisite craftsmanship and prestige of the title, coupled with society's shift toward everything-AI, I predict a pendulum swing in which everyone begins to clamor for man-made, real classics. I don't see us abandoning AI, but I do see us putting up a facade of old books so we don't feel entirely rootless as humans. 

​

Did I get a little too philosophical there? Sorry about that. Let's just say, for lovers of classic literature, fairy tales, and a bygone era...this is the book for you. 

​

There is some wear on the cover and spine, which substantially reduces the cost. A comparable classic would be Cinderella. If you're like me and see the bigger picture, The Sleeping Beauty is an absolute treasure, radiating the charm of a bygone era. ​​​
