A book owned and signed by Sir Alec Guinness. A celebrated actor of film and stage, Guinness appeared as Obi-Wan Kenobi, the reclusive Jedi Knight and mentor to Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), in George Lucas' original Star Wars trilogy. This book comes from the personal library of Guinness who would sign and date his books as he acquired them.

First published in 1933, this English language-translated copy has been signed on the top of the first page with a signature reading "ALEC GUINNESS 1951" in cursive. It exhibits some wear from age, including minor dents in the edges and yellowing. Dimensions: 8" x 5.75" x 1" (20.25 cm x 14.5 cm x 2.5 cm)

Estimate: $1,500 - 3,000
