This lavish gilt hardcover book is signed by hand by Doug TenNapel who also drew an original art sketch on the inside title page (see second scan).  In new and unread condition, it will be shipped with the utmost care.  Please note- the signature and sketch are real. They are the actual, hand-signed signature and hand-drawn sketch by TenNapel.  They are not pre-printed images inside the book.
